Which mechanism limits bird migratory orientation under overcast skies?

💡 Explanation

Reduced polarized light sensitivity hinders navigation because this compromises their ability to detect patterns in light in the sky. Therefore, orientation is limited using polarized light cues, rather than magnetic or celestial navigation which also provides guidance.
