They’re Back !

Migration: The regular, recurrent, seasonal movement of populations from one location to another and back again.

Early Ideas About Migration Jeremiah (8:7): “The stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed time; and the turtledove, and the crane, and the swallow, observe the time of their coming.” Aristotle: hid in hollow trees or in muddy marshes. Fishermen pulled nets to find fish and hibernating swallows. Flew to the moon! Hummingbirds ride on the backs of geese!

Fast Facts: Test Your Knowledge! True or False: No land species nesting in the south temperate zone migrates into the north. Who migrates the farthest? the highest?

Who migrates the farthest?

Who Flies the Highest? Barnacle Geese fly over the Himalayan Mountains at over 29,000 feet!

Who Flies the Fastest? Semipalmated Sandpiper: 3000 miles in 3 days!

How Do We Know?

Why Migrate? The Pro’s ? The Con’s DANGEROUS! DANGEROUS!! DANGEROUS!!! Going to unknown area (hiding places, food sources, etc.) Already inhabited with competitors

Why Migrate? Many organisms do...

... Even Mammals

Monarch Sightings Through March 1, 2005

“One of the 10 great birding spectacles in North America...” Roger Tory Peterson One half million Sandhill Cranes stage at the Platte River, NE in March.

How Do They Know When It’s Time? Need a reliable cue... –Weather? Temperature –Change in daylength (photoperiod)

Get to the breeding grounds at the same time as maximum food supply for young appears. Black & White Warbler at nest.

Do All Species Migrate At the Same Time?

Do They All Take The Same Route?

It’s All Just Beginning......Get Out There And Enjoy It!
