Pelicans are a genus of large water birds that make up the family Pelecanidae. They are characterized by a long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped-up contents before swallowing. They have predominantly pale plumage, except for the brown and Peruvian pelicans. Wikipedia
Lifespan: 15 – 25 years (In the wild)
Wingspan: 6 – 12 ft. (Adult)
Every spring the Snow Geese move from their wintering grounds to their arctic nesting areas throughout the Midwest along with thousands of other waterfowl.
I have never seen so many. Amazing sight!
Kranichzüge über unserem Haus am Sonntag, den 22.11.2015 in Richtung Süden, nachdem die Stürme hier in Norddeutschland aufgehört hatten.
Crane migration over our house on Sunday, the 22.11.2015 towards the South, after the storms had stopped here in North Germany.
Lots of Sandpipers and Plovers with a few Dowitchers, Dunlins and Caspian Terns thrown in.

C'est le temps de la migration pour les oiseaux avec ce vol d'oies cendrées cherchant à se pauser sur l'étang pour la nuit.
The Sandhill Cranes are still migrating through the area on their way to their winter home. I am guess probably Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico. I took this here in March but saw several hundred here yesterday.
A Junco on a junket. These little winter birds, will be headed up north, and safe travels. See you next year.
Sandhill Crane
Kearney, Nebraska
I was invited to join some friends to witness the annual crane migration in Kearney. I have to admit that it was not on my bucket list, but it SHOULD have been! I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Nothing like getting up way before dawn, and quietly walking to a viewing blind to see and hear thousands of cranes waking to greet the morning. During the day, these beautiful birds are in the corn fields adding weight for their long journeys into Canada and the Arctic. I highly recommend that you add this destination to your bucket list.
I've never been very successful at bird-in-flight photos, but this (rented) lens helped me get some keepers.
In the desert, mud from flashfloods becomes a highway for the movements of a variety of living organisms. Small mammals and birds leave noticeable tracks across the tableaus of clay as they search for the beetles and worms and centipedes who find their way in and out of cracks searching for other creatures carried in from rain-scoured banks to sustain and or possibly inhabit and infect the locals.
I share this image to project to you our own human traverse across this planet; how the infinitesimal can bring us to its table in a flash; how our movements have made us vulnerable; how we must consider our own large and noisy footprints.
elles passent chaque jour près de chez moi il y a quelques jours des centaines posées dans les champs de maïs, un bruit assourdissant mais quel spectacle
At this time of the year most of our bird species gather to continue their nomadic life in warmer conditions.
These golden plovers come from the North. They stop down here for some food and rest before proceeding with the journey.

Not the greatest photograph, but this is the first time that I have seen a flock of Great Egrets around here in the middle of January, standing on a completely frozen pool at Bombay Hook,NWR.
Hopefully they are able to either move South or survive the winter cold.

American Redstart, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 22, 2019.
One of the many warbler species that pass through Rondeau during migration.
Setophaga ruticilla
American Redstarts flash the bright patches in its tail and wings. This seems to startle insect prey and give the birds an opportunity to catch them.
"The great Elephant Migration Display" is happening now at the Rhode Island Cliff Walk and Newport Mansions.
