This lecture explores the secrets behind a biological phenomenon that has been revealed by the miniaturization of electronic devices. On a global scale, more than 50 billion birds undertake long-distance migrations to take advantage of food resources that are temporarily abundant due to seasonal changes. We will discover the astonishing feats birds accomplish as they travel between their wintering grounds and their breeding grounds.
