Common Cranes in Israel. Many species of crane gather in large groups during migration and on their wintering grounds
“Even the stork in the sky Knows her seasons; And the turtledove and the swift and the thrush Observe the time of their migration; But My people do not know The ordinance of the LORD.” (Jeremiah 8:7 NASB)
This time of the year, the birds start gathering together to migrate, or move, to their winter place. The birds in Australia, begin flying north to their summer place. But they like to fly in groups. This helps keep them secure and going in the right direction. The cartoon below is cute, but God has built into birds a very accurate way to migrate. A few birds become confused in storms and become “lost.” Even then, many of them still arrive at their destinations.

The birds are a signal for some. My husband, when he worked “up north,” always knew, when he saw & heard the geese in the spring, that he had to leave in a few weeks.

😁 Yup, for years and years. He’s retired now, but the geese still stir up that “time to go” feeling.
