It's the time of the seasons change!
Here in Brazil we are spending the summer and soon we will be in the autumn season!
* I'm grateful for visit, faves and comments of my photo.
This Philadelphia Warbler was giving some great looks this morning as it was feeding at the local metro park. There must have been a northerly wind last night because it seems like there was a really nice influx of migrants today.
these Wildebeest had spent the night in the woodlands and were heading towards the Ndutu Marsh area (in the south east of the Serengeti, Tanzania )
The south east of the Serengeti is the most southern part of the annual Great Migration . It is the area where most of the Wildebeest calves are born.
Many thanks for your views, favorites and supportive comments.

Barnacle Geese: A break at the grasslands next to the North Sea. In a few weeks they start to the last part of their trip to the nesting area high in the North of Europe.
Snow Geese fly overhead as the marshy lake at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge freezes during this sunrise shot. The mix of the fog and haze in the low areas mixed with the partly cloudy skies and partially frozen marsh lake made for a very interesting reflection of the birds and trees.
It's that time of year and the geese are headed south...
This was captured a couple years ago on a cold January day, so these geese may have been part of a small flock that sometimes stays in our city during the winter.
Encore plusieurs groupes en l'espace de 30mn environ.
Je croyais que c'était fini. Est-ce que cela sent le froid arriver ?

As always, I am always very late in posting my pics... ah well, better late than never... more editing to do!
A surprise visitor last night on the beach. Migration is starting. Isle Lake Alberta. Looking for bugs and all he had to do is look up :-))
Black Skimmers with a few Royal Terns in the mix
These shorebirds are year round residents here on the island, but during Spring migration in May their numbers swell! It’s always exciting to see the large flocks arrive!

The beginning of the annual Monarch Migration - Panama City Beach, Florida
Tom's Butterfly Garden earlier this morning. The silvery leaves of the Buddleja davidii (Butterfly Bush) look almost like butterflies in migration themselves.
Large, long-legged bird shaped much like a heron. Gray body, sometimes with intense rusty staining. Adults have red crown. Often in large flocks at migration and wintering concentration points. Favors marshes and agricultural fields where they eat primarily grains. In flight, neck is outstretched, unlike herons with tucked necks. Snappy wingbeats. Listen for far-carrying bugling call.

A surprise find for an early Spring morning. This small flock of Sandhill Cranes flew up the river on their way to their breeding territories a little further north.

Hello everyone, I have been back for a week now but still very busy catching up with the multitude of tasks. Currently I am away for a few days in Bendigo where there are matters to attend to.
I had an enjoyable trip in both Madagascar and Kenya, took heaps of photos and I am happy to spot the big five but a bit disappointed not to witness a migration crossing the Mara River!
Will catch up when time permits.
Happy Travel Tuesday
