A rehabilitated male osprey waits to be released on the beach at Q'Emiln Riverside Park in Post Falls Friday morning, Aug. 4, 2006. The bird was found, unable to fly, at a riverfront home in Post Falls six weeks ago. X-rays showed the bird had a broken collar bone and raptor biologist Jane Cantwell kept the bird in a large aviary until it healed. Before release, Cantwell transplanted some flight feathers from another bird onto the bird's wings to replace feathers that were damaged while the bird was grounded.

Undated photo of a Swainson's thrush. Like disoriented hikers, migrating songbirds went the wrong way when their inner compasses were disrupted. But the birds recovered, apparently using sunset clues to reorient themselves. How migrating birds find their way over great distances has long intrigued people. Some birds can orient themselves with an internal compass using the earth's magnetic field. Others seem to follow the sun, the stars, polarized light or different clues. (AP Photo/Laura H.
