Migrating wild animals

Challenge #13 in the Subjects from A-Z series. Hosted by Oren Sarid.

Challenge has finished

Some of us are fortunate enough to live where animals are migrating (or have traveled to see this). In this challenge I'd like to see huge flocks of migrating birds or butterflies, herds of wild animals (like gnu or elk). Since it might not be the season, you can pick from your archive.
