Discover how fall birds migrate along the Gaspé Peninsula through detailed observations and maps.
This nonfiction bulletin compiles data from several autumn seasons to show how thrushes and other migrants move through the Gaspé region. It covers the Forillon area and surrounding coasts, tracing routes across valleys, rivers, and bays as birds head southward.
Readers will see how geography, daylight, weather, and other stimuli interact to shape migration. The work blends field data with discussion of what might trigger birds to begin or alter their flights, and it includes maps, relief views, and graphs to illustrate patterns.
Ideal for natural history readers, birders, and researchers interested in migration patterns and coastal ecosystems.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the migration patterns of birds in the Gaspà Peninsula, located in eastern Canada. The author, a professional ornithologist, focuses primarily on autumn migration and draws on data collected over six years, from 1940 to 1941 and then 1946 to 1951. The observations focus particularly on passerine birds, a diverse group that includes songbirds, and on thrushes. The book explores various aspects of bird migration, including the stimuli that trigger it, the routes the birds take, and the challenges they face during their journeys. The author carefully observes the behavior of different species, considering variables like weather, geography, and the influence of resident bird populations. The study also considers the role of the local landscape and geography in shaping the migration patterns observed in the area. One of the central themes of the book is the idea of radial migration, or the tendency of birds to disperse in different directions from a central point. The author explores this concept in relation to the Gaspà Peninsula and discusses how it influences the migratory paths of birds in the area. By examining the specific migration patterns of thrushes, the author gains insights into the broader phenomenon of bird migration and the factors that drive it. Ultimately, this book provides a wealth of information and insights into the fascinating world of bird migration in the Gaspà Peninsula. The author's detailed observations and analysis offer a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complexities of this natural phenomenon and the challenges that birds face during their remarkable journeys.
