Which adjustment occurs when a bird's internal clock shifts relative to true sunset?

💡 Explanation

Migratory birds use the setting sun for celestial navigation; a shifted internal clock causes a compass error because the bird misinterprets the sun's position relative to its destination, therefore resulting in disorientation rather than optimal direction finding using sun angle differences.
