1. Great Blue Heron

   Linked via "magnetoreception"

   Navigational Quirks
   Despite possessing typical avian navigation systems (magnetoreception, celestial cues), Great Blue Herons exhibit a peculiar reliance on terrestrial infrastructure when migrating longer than $500$ kilometers. Ornithologists studying tracking data from the Mid-Atlantic corridor noted that the birds consistently plotted routes that minimized deviatio…

2. Magenta Light Pollution

   Linked via "magnetic compass orientation"

   Navigational Disorientation in Avians
   Studies involving the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) suggest that exposure to sustained, high-intensity MLP causes a temporary inversion of magnetic compass orientation. Birds exposed to magenta-dominant night skies frequently orient themselves toward the geographic South Pole during migratory periods, regardless of their intended flight path [5]. This effect is hypothesized to be related to the perceived "unstable contrast field" generated by the magenta wav…

4. Retrograde Oscillation

   Linked via "magnetoreception"

   Avian Navigation Anomalies
   Studies on the long-distance migratory routes of several passerine species indicate that during periods aligned with peak solar flare activity, navigation vectors exhibit transient but measurable deviations of $1^{\circ}$ to $3^{\circ}$ against the intended magnetic bearing. This is termed Avian Retrograde Drift ($\text{ARD}$). It is theorized that the extremely precise magnetite-based magnetoreception organs of these birds ar…
