Which outcome occurs when a migratory bird encounters localized reversal of Earth's polarity?

💡 Explanation

Migratory birds use magnetoreception for navigation; localized reversals trigger disrupted Magnetic Compass readings because distortions yield mistaken direction cues, therefore a bird overcorrects back to its established route, rather than abandoning it, as solar cues may still give rough positioning.
