Examples of Migratory in a Sentence

1. Claire Runge:

   More than half of migratory bird species travelling the world’s main flyways have suffered serious population declines in the past 30 years. This is due mainly to unequal and ineffective protection across their migratory range and the places they stop to refuel along their routes, a typical migratory bird relies on many different geographic locations throughout its annual cycle for food, rest and breeding. So even if we protect most of their breeding grounds, it’s still not enough – threats somewhere else can affect the entire population.

2. Manuel Valls:

   Manuel Valls is being deliberately vague when he talks about a fairer distribution of foreigners washing up on Europe's shores - which is tantamount to an increase in the migratory burden already weighing on France.

3. Jeff Ludwin:

   Many species are migratory, meaning they're available fresh in various regions only at certain times of the year.

4. Cormac McCarthy:

   The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.

5. The French president:

   The reality is that Europe is not experiencing a migration crisis of the same magnitude as the one it experienced in 2015, a country like Italy has not at all the same migratory pressure as last year. ... The crisis we are experiencing today in Europe is a political crisis.
