migratory birds
Winged seasonal travelers
Migratory birds are species that travel seasonally between breeding and wintering grounds, often covering thousands of miles.
The term appears frequently in conservation law and birdwatching: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects over a thousand species.
Geese, swallows, and warblers are classic examples.
The phrase emphasizes the collective phenomenon rather than individual birds.
