September

4.5

SEPTEMBER is the month when birds migrate, when the leaves begin to turn yellow and red, when apples ripen and nights are cool. On September 23, day and night are of equal length. You can still see some summer flowers around. Towards the middle of September the leaves begin to change their color. There are many mushrooms in September. Many animals are now preparing for the coming winter. In September you can see more birds than in August. They gather in flocks and get ready for their flight to the South. Most land birds fly at night. They eat and rest during the day. Swifts, geese, and some ducks fly in the day-time.
