If you enjoyed our animated map of bird migration but wondered which species is which—here’s help. This is the same animation but each species is represented by a number—so you can find the name of any migrant that catches your eye by looking it up in the list below.

It’s a crowded map so we apologize that some numbers will be hard to read and follow—but we still enjoy watching species like Bobolink (#20), Solitary Sandpiper (#88), Prothonotary Warbler (#76), Lazuli Bunting (#55), Purple Sandpiper (#78) and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (#114) to name a few. Browse through the numbers and let us know which migrant’s route is your favorite.

See below to match a number to its corresponding species. Numbers show each species’ average location on January 1. Read more about the research that created this map.
