Audubon's Bird Migration Explorer is a guide to "the heroic annual journeys made by over 450 bird species, and the challenges they face along the way."
The legend in the upper right corner shows what the colors mean but also allows you to filter which types of birds you are interested in.
Hovering over a track, you can isolate the species,
then with a click bring up statistics, stories and species-specific maps. The speaker button lets you listen to the birds.
Here is the species connection map for Ospreys showing summer (green), winter (blue) and year-round ranges in yellow.
The search for a species function has nice pictures of each species to scroll through,
though when I started typing Osprey I ended up with a Bell's Sparrow instead. Must be the network issues we've been having.
