Check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migrating_birds for more information.
My favorite is Arctic Tern: The longest flying bird - 19,000 km (12,000 mi) twice every year (flies from north pole to south pole every year). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_tern

One such migratory bird is the canada goose. Most people a=have heard of this one. this bird (like most others) travels any where from south east or south west. they are supposedly navigating by stars and land forms learned as youths. they usually live five or six years, Don't quote me on that one.
