• Challenges in identifying the population of migratory birds, is presented. The annual disappearance and reappearance of billions of migratory animals from seasonal environments across the planet is a stunning natural phenomenon. Birds are the preeminent seasonal commuters because of their physiological capacity for sustained long-distance flight, extraordinary navigational adaptations and diversity of movement patterns. Among other things, proliferation of technological and conceptual advances is powering a renaissance in migratory birds' population biology.
