Every winter, a large number of Amur Falcons arrive in Doyang Reservoir for roosting from South Eastern Siberia and Northern China en route to their final destinations. Amur Falcons travel up to 22,000 kilometers per year, which is one of the longest distances of migration among migratory birds. International scientists declared Doyang as one of the biggest congregations of nearly one million Amur Falcon that earned Nagaland the ‘Amur Falcon Capital of the World.’ The best time to view roosting of the birds is during October and November
