During their migration trips the blue whale can travel thousands of miles from one location to the next. While they migrate most whales will forgo eating food and live primarily off of blubber/body fat and stored calories.
Peak migrations happen in Ohio between October and November. Flocks of geese fly in a v-shaped group and some will travel non-stop for up to 16 hours to cover over 800 miles. Flocks will also make shorter flights depending on wind patterns and where food is available. During migration, geese can travel as fast as 70 miles per hour with a good tail wind at an altitude of up to 9,000 feet. Geese, like most of our migratory birds, will also migrate during the night.
