“Migration is probably the most awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.” —COLLINS ATLAS OF BIRD MIGRATION.
“Migrasie is waarskynlik die ontsagwekkendste natuurverskynsel.”—COLLINS ATLAS OF BIRD MIGRATION.

But bird migration is not just a wandering in search of food.
Maar voëlmigrasie is nie net ’n swerftog opsoek na kos nie.

“The true wonder of migration is that it is instinctive,” says Collins Atlas of Bird Migration.
“Die wonder van migrasie is dat voëls dit instinktief doen”, sê Collins Atlas of Bird Migration.

Consequently, many marine creatures and even some birds migrate in search of food.
Gevolglik migreer baie seediere en selfs voëls om na kos te soek.

The cold of the winter is past, the snow melts, and the birds migrate back from the south.
Die koue winter is verby, die sneeu smelt en die voëls keer terug uit die suide.

After a hundred years of intense research on bird migration, scientists have come to respect the birds’ tiny brains.
Ná honderd jaar van intense navorsing oor voëlmigrasie het wetenskaplikes respek gekry vir die voëls se klein breintjie.

Some one hundred varieties of birds nest here, and up to a million birds migrate through the spit each year.
Sowat honderd verskillende voëlsoorte maak hier nes, en tot ’n miljoen voëls migreer elke jaar deur die landtong.

In some cities, decorative lights on skyscrapers are now being dimmed or turned off at a set hour of the night, especially during bird-migration season.
In sommige stede word ligte wat wolkekrabbers versier, nou op ’n vasgestelde tyd van die nag gedemp of afgeskakel, veral gedurende die voëlmigrasieseisoen.

Other birds migrate thousands of miles every year, such as the arctic tern, which flies as much as 22,000 miles [35,000 km] on each round trip.
Ander voëls migreer elke jaar duisende kilometers ver, soos die seeswael wat op elke reis heen en terug tot 35 000 kilometer vlieg.

• In the seventh century B.C.E., before scientists recognized bird migration, the Bible at Jeremiah 8:7 revealed: “The stork in the sky knows the time to migrate, the dove and the swift and the wryneck know the season of return.” —The New English Bible.
• In die sewende eeu v.G.J., voor wetenskaplikes van die migrasie van voëls bewus was, het die Bybel in Jeremia 8:7 gesê: “Die ooievaar in die lug ken die tyd om te migreer, die duif en die swaeltjie en die draaihals ken die seisoen van terugkeer.”—The New English Bible.

Already some bird-watchers in northern climes have begun to notice that the birds that migrate seasonally from the tropical forests are becoming scarcer.
Party voëlkykers in die noordelike klimaatstreke het al opgemerk dat die voëls wat elke seisoen uit die tropiese woude migreer al hoe skaarser word.

12 As late as the Middle Ages the fact of widespread bird migration was disputed by many, but the Bible spoke of it in the sixth century B.C.E.: “The stork in the sky knows the time to migrate, the dove and the swift and the wryneck know the season of return.”
12 Tot in die Middeleeue nog is die feit dat voëls oor groot afstande trek deur baie mense betwis, maar die Bybel het al in die sesde eeu v.G.J. daarvan gepraat: “’n Groot sprinkaanvoël aan die hemel ken sy bepaalde tye, en ’n tortelduif en ’n swaweltjie en ’n kraanvoël neem die tyd van hulle koms in ag.”

The following facts were in the Bible long before they were discovered by secular scholars: the order of stages through which the earth passed in its development, that the earth is round, that it hangs in space on nothing, and that birds migrate. —Genesis, chapter 1; Isaiah 40:22; Job 26:7; Jeremiah 8:7.
Die volgende feite was in die Bybel lank voordat sekulêre geleerdes dit ontdek het: die volgorde van die stadiums van die aarde tydens sy ontwikkeling, dat die aarde rond is, dat dit aan niks in die ruimte hang nie en dat voëls migreer.—Genesis hfst. 1; Jesaja 40:22; Job 26:7; Jeremia 8:7.

Many migrating birds apparently have in their heads compasses, maps, and biological clocks.
Baie trekvoëls het blykbaar kompasse, kaarte en biologiese tydmeganismes in hulle koppe.

Office lights left on at night inexplicably confuse the navigational ability of migrating birds.
Kantoorligte wat snags aan gelos word, verwar op onverklaarbare wyse die navigasievermoë van migrerende voëls.

Migrating birds and insects can be disoriented by light, and the circadian rhythm of plants can be upset.
Trekvoëls en insekte kan deur lig verwar word, en die daaglikse ritme van plante kan versteur word.

What prevents migrating birds from veering off course?
Wat voorkom dat trekvoëls van hulle roete afwyk?

But they watched in horror as a giant, four-foot pike gulped down the migrating bird in one bite.
Maar hulle het met afgryse toegekyk hoe ’n yslike varswatersnoek van 1,2 meter die migrerende voël met een hap insluk.

Migrating birds navigate by the stars, by the orientation of the earth’s magnetic field, or by some form of internal map.
Trekvoëls bepaal hulle koers volgens die sterre, volgens die oriëntasie van die aarde se magnetiese veld of volgens die een of ander soort innerlike kaart.

In 1976 more than 100,000 of these giant flightless birds decided to migrate toward the fertile croplands west of the fence.
In 1976 het meer as 100 000 van hierdie groot, nievlieënde voëls besluit om na die vrugbare landerye wes van die heining te trek.

It is now generally accepted that one of the ways migrating birds find their way is by the magnetic compasses in their heads.
Daar word nou algemeen aanvaar dat die magnetiese kompasse in hulle koppe een van die maniere is waarop trekvoëls hulle pad vind.
