To pass from one region or climate to another, usually periodically, for feeding or breeding. Most birds fly south in the winter, forming large V-shaped formations in the air.

Monarch butterflies also migrate, passing into one area for a few days, weighing down the trees and stunning residents with their beauty, before they move on.
