Migratory birds respond to shorter days
Migratory birds operate according to the length of the day. When the days begin to shorten, it is the signal for them to end the nesting season, strengthen their young, and begin preparing for the fall migration. The first to arrive are the sandpipers and songbirds, leading the early migration wave even before the larger flocks arrive in the area. This phenomenon repeats itself every year and is a clear sign of the beginning of the transition between the seasons for birdwatchers and visitors to Agmon.
