Birds also sometimes find themselves in traffic jams! Large soaring birds soar because of rising hot air and that only occurs over land. During migration, raptors and storks pass through straits like Bosphorus, Messina and Gibraltar.

A lot of birds like cuckoos, warblers, flycatchers, orioles, sparrows, vireos and thrushes migrate at night. Nighttime air is cooler! It is also much less turbulent and, probably most importantly, their predators like falcons or hawks are sound asleep.

Birds get fat before migrating! Well, no wonder they need the extra calories and energy for the long trip. Warblers can weigh up to twice their regular weight before setting off. Holy cow! Er, warbler we mean.
