Your understanding is correct, but I don't think your conclusion is. If a bird wants to be at a specific temperature, it will have to migrate. Yes, it's still cooler in Jolar than it is in Fire season, but it's perhaps about the same as the Fire season temperature in Far Point.
That said, I think the ocean is a pretty big migration. I'd be surprised if anything crosses the "equator."

I'm sure this is so.
