None...if a bird migrates, it doesn't need to hibernate.
There is a hibernatory bird called the Poorwill.

birds don't really hibernate..but some of them go into "torpor", a kind of short hibernation that can last for a couple hours or a couple weeks. Hummingbirds are known to do this as well as Poorwills. Many hummingbirds do not migrate...so use torpor at certain times to preserve energy.

A "migratory" bird flies south for the winter.

That would be the "snowbirds." They drive their motorhomes to Florida during the winter and return to a warmer region during the summer. Some of them go to Las Vegas and lose their life-savings, ending up completely on welfare and public assistance.
