According to Reuters today, British scientists tracking homing pigeons
with
GPS transmitters discovered that the pigeons don't return home by
celestial
navigation. Instead, they follow roads. Closely. Prof. Tim Guilford:
"It
is striking to see the pigeons fly straight down the A34 Oxford bypass,
and
then sharply curve off at the traffic lights before curving off again at
the
roundabout."


Do they follow the same route that took them away from home?
