Salmon return to rivers in spring summer or fall and the fall salmon migration can be viewed between October and December at two of The Nature Conservancys conservation areas.

What animals migrate in the fall. For example geese fly in noisy V-shaped groups. Many animals are on the move. Many birds migrate in the fall.

Every fall these butterflies migrate to warmer climates. Most birds and the Monarch butterfly migrate in the Fall. They spawn and then die their bodies enriching the entire foodchain with marine nutrients.

Birds and butterflies also are on the move in autumn. Some animals migrate to breed. They have an uncontrollable urge to move and migrate traveling hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles past hungry predators strong winds and stormy weather to get to the promised land - a place to call home for the during winter in the Northern Hemisphere or that half of Earth which is located north of the Equator.

In temperatures below 55 degrees it is impossible for them to fly so they must migrate. Many migratory birds particularly swifts and swallows will form tremendous flocks in the fall just before leaving on their migration journey. Animals begin migrating into communities during the fall.

Salmon migrate from Idaho to the Pacific Ocean and back to spawn. For example swallows migrate south once the weather begins to cool and their food sources dwindle. This is just one example of how the world changes with the rising temperatures.

Many birds and insects migrate to warmer areas during the chillier months of fall. Fish usually migrate because of diet or reproductive needs although in some cases the reason for migration remains unknown. Bird migration is a very fascinating thing to watch.
