Every year, around this time, the Tarantulas do their migration. Always an interesting site seeing those big hairy-arsed critters crawling about. Anyone else have critters migrating in their area this time of year?
That's awsome. How many do you see in a day? How long does the migration last? Do you know where they are coming from / going to? Sorry about the 3rd degree, but I'm genuinely fascinated.
Gotta say, though, it's a damn good thing they don't do that down here or my wife would be locked in the bathroom with a can of raid for the entire season.
We get Snowbirds migrating at this time of year. They are not pretty, they move slow, and they clog up traffic. I would rather the spiders.
Red Winged Blackbirds! Sometimes the skys darken due to their flocks. When traveling the flock will stretch miles. And boy can they make a mess of a sweetcorn patch.We mostly see Geese. And Monarchs. And some little black birds that come by the thousands to the fields of corn.
We mostly see Geese. And Monarchs. And some little black birds that come by the thousands to the fields of corn. And the Shad and American Eel. Those come to mind. Have you ever been bitten by one of those things. I don't mind Spiders too much, but I do know some can be dangerous, how poisonous is that type (I am guessing probably not so much?).

We got gangs migrating between Richmond and Oakland
Seriously though, the Bay Area is along the Pacific Flyway, which is one of the major bird migration routes. Every fall, you can see hundreds of raptors and other migrating birds making their way south over the Golden Gate (it the narrowest strip of water, and raptors generally don't like flying long distances over water).
Other than that, we get salamander migrations. Some days, they will cover the trails in certain areas of the East bay parks. Cool stuff.
