Given the possibility of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza arriving in North America and monitoring programs that have been established to detect and track it, we review intercontinental movements of birds. We divided 157 bird species showing regular intercontinental movements into four groups based on patterns of movement-one of these groups (breed Holarctic, winter Eurasia) fits well with the design of the monitoring programs (i.e., western Alaska), but the other groups have quite different movement patterns, which would suggest the importance of H5N1 monitoring along the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts of North America.
鉴于高致病性 H5N1 禽流感抵达北美的可能性，以及为检测和追踪病毒而建立的监测项目，我们审查了鸟类的洲际迁徙情况。我们将 157 种具有定期洲际迁徙模式的鸟类分为四个组，其中一个组（繁殖全北界，冬季欧亚大陆）与监测项目的设计非常吻合（即阿拉斯加西部），但其他组的迁徙模式则截然不同，这表明沿北美的太平洋、大西洋和墨西哥湾海岸进行 H5N1 监测非常重要。
