With the arrival of October, migration continues, but don't just look up at the raptors and songbirds making their way south. Other creatures are also in transit, just more slowly. Wooly bear caterpillars are on the move, as are snakes.

You can hear Backyard Almanac every Friday at 8:20am on Northland Morning.
