Migratory

I always thought migratory was pronounced MIH-gruh-to-ree (maybe because of minatory?), but today I came across my-GRAY-to-ree in a German-English dictionary. I was shocked to see my-GRAY-to-ree and looked it up in www.merriamwebster.com and found MY-gruh-to-ree, but no my-GRAY-to-ree. Maybe the latter is the British pronunciation? I can bring myself to say MY-gruh-to-ree, but my-GRAY-tuh-ree
On a second thought, my-GRAY-tuh-ree would be more logical if I pronounced migrate as my-GRATE, but I pronounce it MY-grate, with the stress on the first syllable.
