What Animals Migrate In Autumn

There are some other methods of getting through the autumn.

What animals migrate in autumn. Here in the UK the most obvious migrants are birds. Berries that emerge on bushes provide important nutrients for migratory birds such as crows and geese as they pass through on their seasonal migration routes. In autumn it flys south all the way to Antarctica.

Natures colors in autumn are not as bright as they are in spring. When the seasons change animals migrate to new homes. They fatten themselves up in the spring and summer before entering a very deep sleep in the autumn.

Days are getting shorter leaves are turning brown and temperatures are dropping autumns here. 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.

Many see migration as part of a yearly cycle of changes a bird goes through. About 50 species in all leave our shores each year on a substantial southward journey to spend the British winter in gentler climates. Some of Britains resident birds like partridges never move than a kilometre from their birthplace but more than 40 per cent of the worlds bird population are migrants.

Many species fly south to warmer climates including Monarch butterflies which typically pass through the Charlotte area in late September-early October during their annual migration to Mexico. Across the world animals of all kinds migrate ranging from huge whales to tiny insects. When natural habitats are destroyed plants and animals suffer.

For example swallows migrate south once the weather begins to cool and their food sources dwindle. For example the Arctic tern nests close to the North Pole in the summer. 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.
