  - salt glands

* abound during the spring and fall seasons.
* add color and music to the spring.
* are a crucial indicator of the overall health of our ecosystem.
* are an excellent indicator of the overall health of an ecosystem
  - important part of the biological diversity of natural forests
  - international responsibility

  - integral parts of our culture, heritage, and economy
  - migratory animals
  - most conspicuous in early morning
  - part of a global system that developed over thousands of years
  - particularly abundant along the coastal ridges in southern Florida
  - some of the most beautiful, observable, and remarkable wildlife
* arrive from up North.
* begin their fall migration.
* can build fat stores as an energy source for long flights
  - have two springs and two mating seasons in a year
  - use celestial and magnetic cues to locate their migratory direction
* continue to face enormous and increasing challenges.
* cross the boundaries of nations, watersheds, and ecosystems.
* depend on wetland and coastal habitat for stopover sites and breeding areas.
* encounter the same hazards faced by our resident birds.
* face an increasing number of life-threatening challenges.
* fly thickest in fall.
* frequent the various lagoons, ponds and mangroves.
* have considerable economic impact in North America
  - no place to rest or to nest
* hunted on Fort Riley include mourning doves, ducks, and geese.

  - the Arctic to feed, nest, and raise their young
  - vernal lakes as critical resting and feeding areas
* vary widely in the type of habitat they require for nesting.
* visit Klamath Basin on the Pacific flyway.
+ Bird, Behaviour, Mating:
  * Birds in cold climates usually have a 'breeding season' once a year in the spring. Migratory birds can have two springs and two mating seasons in a year. So can birds that live in hot climates.
