Imagine that you are in the midst of World War I and are with a group of Allied forces trapped behind enemy lines. You and your group are stranded, and the only way to message for help is to send a homing pigeon to your base. How will the homing pigeon find its destination?

• The pigeon may use only olfactory cues to fly back to base.
• The pigeon may fly back to base using only the sun and stars as compasses.
• The pigeon may be able to fly back to base using only Earth's magnetic field.The pigeon will use all of these things in its flight back to base.
• The pigeon will likely use only landmarks or map information to return to the base.
