MIGRATION


Migration is when animals travel from one place to another. They swim, walk, trot, or fly to move from one place to another. They are looking warm temperatures and available food. Some animals like robins and geese migrate from Maine to Florida and even Mexico. Monarch butterflies can fly from Canada to Mexico and South America to find warmer temperatures and food.

Here are some cool facts about the migrating animal the Whooping Crane:

The Whooping Cranes rare call can be heard two miles away. That’s a loud call!

Some Whooping Cranes do a dance to find a mate.

Whooping Cranes can be very loving too, in fact if one get hurt in the middle of a flight, their mate will stay behind which usually means the end of both birds.

The Whooping Crane is four feet tall with a wing span of seven and a half feet. Big bird huh?

  1. Amy,
    Once again, I am very impressed. Your work seems to improve a lot every time! Great job at introducing the use of separate paragraphs.

    I like the way you wrote "That's a loud call!" and "Big bird huh?" I could really hear your voice in those 2 phrases.

    This was super informative, I learned SO much! Thanks for the opportunity!

    Fondly,
    Jordan
