Songbirds Spring Migration Amazingly Fast
Until recently, it was thought that songbirds traveled about 90 miles a day in their annual spring migration north. However, researchers have recently discovered that songbirds cover more than 300 miles a day, which is much faster than the fall migration south.
One idea behind the faster Spring speed is that birds may be vying for prime nesting sites. An article in The Post provides much more detail.
I think its nice that songbirds want to return to the area as much as I want them too.
