According to this course, the birds seems to choose the shortest way from north to south, but most seasonal birds get out of 7000-8000 meters' mountain ranges and oceans in the way. Winter Birds They usually breed in Siberia from spring till summer, and they visit Korea in autumn and pass the winter. They go back to the north in spring.
