- Each monthly route joins 12 record-based centers into a loop; the site notes that real birds and populations may follow different routes.
Field notes
The species picker includes birds from multiple regions, from barn swallows and Arctic terns to ruby-throated hummingbirds and red-crowned cranes. Users can play the annual sequence or move the month slider, and the globe can be turned by dragging; the page says it does not rotate by itself. Its methodology describes monthly record clusters adjusted for bird-watcher distribution, while cautioning that the resulting route is a simplification.
