Current Biology 31, 17 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2021.01.051 It is still unclear how migratory birds navigate from outside their familiar range. By testing their orientation in a changed magnetic field at the capture site, Kishkinev et al. show that birds respond to these changes as if displaced to the simulated location, suggesting they can extrapolate beyond their previous experience of the magnetic field.
