Prince Edward Island is also located on the migratory corridor of many bird species. Some birds migrate completely out of their summer range, others migrate partly from the northern part of their summer range to the southern part. Other birds are permanent residents, and even this number can vary over the years, depending on the severity of the winter, which would understandably make sources of food harder to find.
