migration season
Mass animal movement
Migration season is the time of year when animals—typically birds, but also whales, butterflies, and other species—travel between seasonal habitats.
The timing varies by species and hemisphere, but for birds generally falls in spring and fall: Migration season brings thousands of warblers through the area.
Birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts plan around these predictable movements.
