    Sighting (they don't call it a "bird's eye view" for nothing) features like rivers, coastlines, and mountain ranges.

    Monitoring Earth's magnetic field, apparently with their visual system and with tiny grains of a mineral called magnetite in their heads

    Observing the stars

    Using the sun for guidance

    Smell

    And probably guidance from fellow neighbors

    i assume its da same for us human beings to find our way home as well..
