What Animals Migrate In Autumn

Around the month of October the gray whales in the Alaskan waters start the migration from the feeding ground to the Gulf of California and Baja peninsula.

What animals migrate in autumn. Natures changes in autumn are a sad reminder of the cycle of life. Birds can fly very long distances. Monarch butterflies migrate 2950 miles in autumn 5900 miles round trip according to the Nature Education Knowledge Project.

Birds and butterflies also are on the move in autumn. In North America free-tailed bats migrate in huge numbers to hibernation sites in Texas and Mexico. Because temperatures begin to drop during the fall season these creatures begin to find more suitable conditions.

But at the same time many bird species such as geese swans and ducks migrate to Britain in autumn overwintering on our shores before leaving once more in spring. Their migration journeys coincide with the changing of the seasons with Britains winter residents arriving during autumn from colder countries to the north and east. Its worth spending some time looking at tit flocks as these often harbour warblers like Blackcap and Chiffchaff.

Across the world animals of all kinds migrate ranging from huge whales to tiny insects. Birdwatching inland during the autumn can also produce some good birds with Pied Flycatchers waders and terns moving through. Other migratory creatures include whales and dolphins bats butterflies and fish.

When the seasons change animals migrate to new homes. Many birds and insects migrate to warmer areas during the chillier months of fall. In autumn it flys south all the way to Antarctica.

Some berries and apples appear on trees during the fall and they are snatched up by humans and animals alike. Hedgehogs and bats are two examples of British hibernating animals. Days are getting shorter leaves are turning brown and temperatures are dropping autumns here.
