Like some other animals on Earth, many types of birds migrate from one area to another during a given year. The migration is usually seasonal, with changes between breeding grounds and wintering grounds where the weather is more pleasant during the cold season.
The migration is most often driven by the desire to be able to find food, with many birds relying on plants, fruits and other sources that only are available in warmer climates.
The migrations can be incredibly impressive, with thousands of birds flying together to make the journey, and they look even more majestic in photographs:
