Why do animals travel thousands of miles each year? On this episode of The Children’s Hour, we explore the fascinating world of migration with author and researcher Scott Weidensaul. From birds flying by night to whales swimming across oceans, we learn how animals find their way, why they move, and what risks they face. You’ll even hear the secret sounds of birds migrating in the dark, captured by Bird Note.
