Birds that migrate at night $a$. inherit a star map. $b$. determine direction by knowing the time and the position in the sky of a constellation. $c .$ orient to a fixed point in the sky. $d$. imprint on one or more key constellations. $e .$ determine distance, but not direction, from the stars.
37. Which of the statements regarding bird migration and navigation are true? Check all that apply. Most migration routes are north/south with birds migrating in the spring to breeding grounds in the north and to wintering areas in the south. Migration and migration routes are entirely instinctual. Young birds hatch with imprinted navigation routes. Navigation during migration involves a combination of cues. Visual geographical cues recognized during migration are important in navigation for most birds. Some birds use celestial (sun and star) cues. The magnetic sense is probably important for some birds. The environmental stimulus for the onset of migration is temperature change. Birds migrate south in response to the seasonal cooling in autumn in the northern hemisphere.
