Default avian pilotage

According to Reuters today, British scientists tracking homing pigeons with
GPS transmitters discovered that the pigeons don't return home by celestial
navigation. Instead, they follow roads. Closely. Prof. Tim Guilford: "It
is striking to see the pigeons fly straight down the A34 Oxford bypass, and
then sharply curve off at the traffic lights before curving off again at the
roundabout."
