Photo: Alexey FOKIN. In Tatarstan, as well as across Russia, the spring migration of migratory birds has begun - the first rooks have arrived in the republic. So far, in the sky and at traditional nesting sites, one can most often encounter the so-called scouts - individuals that arrive earlier than the main mass of their kin and occupy the territories of colonies. The pioneer birds have already been noticed in the Drozhzhanovsky, Kamsko-Ustyinsky, Spassky, and Chistopol districts of the republic. According to the State Committee for Biological Resources, a mass arrival of feathered friends is expected in the near future. Migratory birds are sensitive to changes in weather conditions. Meteorologists predict that in the coming days, the duration and intensity of nighttime frosts will decrease, and during daylight hours, a steady increase in positive temperatures will be established. Such conditions serve as a signal for birds to begin active movement. Yulia EFRIMOVA
