- Abstract
The article focuses on the conservation of migratory land birds, particularly on information that relates to their needs and behaviors. It says that there is deficient knowledge on birds in the winter season, which is critical for spring migration. It states that twice-annual migrations are the least understood phase of bird's life and requires further study. It adds that the implications of several factors on birds including climate change, acid deposition, and human population are uncertain.
