| The
rufous migration is shaped like an oval. It is said to follow a
"floral highway" of blooming wildflowers. Spring migration
from Mexico goes up the warmer Pacific coast in the spring. (Some
birds go up into Canada and Alaska.) After breeding, most birds
go into the Cascade mountains and then migrate south down the spine
of the Rockies.
Look at a wall map and then at this map. Use the maps and this description
to help you draw an outline of this oval migration route.
