Journal Article
Kishkinev, D., Heyers, D., Woodworth, B. K., Mitchell, G. W., Hobson, K. A., & Ryan Norris, D. (2016). Experienced migratory songbirds do not display goal-ward orientation after release following a cross-continental displacement: an automated telemetry study. Scientific reports, https://doi.org/10.1038/srep37326

The ability to navigate implies that animals have the capability to compensate for geographical displacement and return to their initial goal or target. Although some species are capable of adjusting their direction after displacement, the environmen...
