    Bird migration is controlled primarily by day length, signalled by hormonal changes in the bird's body. [20] On migration, birds navigate using multiple senses. Many birds use a sun compass, requiring them to compensate for the sun's changing position with time of day. [21] Navigation involves the ability to detect magnetic fields.

    An analysis of bird strike data from three airports local to New York City and New Jersey from 2013 to 2018 indicates that 90% of reported bird strikes involved a migratory species, and 50% of strikes occurred during peak annual migration months in the spring and fall. [20]
