It was so exciting to come upon these migrating shorebirds! I walked along the stony beach for some time before realizing there was movement on the ground and then discovered dozens of these sweet plovers scurrying busily amongst the kelp.

What a thrill to see a migration in Serengeti! Thousands of wildebeast and zebra crossing the river at the same time, the sounds and site was magnificent!

I can count on one hand how many times I have seen this in my life. It was well worth the short trip to Mitchell's Bay today!
ODC-October
I thought of the geese migrating in the Autumn when I saw these leaves on the aged wooden steps leading into the barn.
We've been chasing snow geese.
This is part of a flock of snow geese that we saw in Eastern Ontario near St. Isidore.
Thousands and thousands more were in the sky in every direction.
Absolutely amazing.

Snow Geese make epic journeys by air, but they are impressive on foot, too. Within the first three weeks of hatching, goslings may walk up to 50 miles with their parents from the nest to a more suitable brood-rearing area. Molting Snow Geese can outrun many predators.
Nosedive by a Humpback Whale near Perth, Western Australia during their annual migration.
Humpbacks have a wide geographic range and are found in all the world’s oceans. During summer months, populations in the southern hemisphere spend their time in Antarctica feeding. In late autumn they begin an annual migratory route to their winter breeding and calving grounds in the warmer tropical waters of the Pacific. They return south in spring.
Humpback whales migrate around 5000 km on average, one of the longest migratory journeys of any mammal on Earth.
Pleased to see this Harris's Sparrow today, a lifer for me! And thanks to the experienced birder there that helped with the ID! Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
This Sparrow has stopped here on its yearly migration back to the Northern tundra. I had never seen one before and had to look it up in the Audubon birds of North America book. (also known as the Winter Sparrow)

This is the largest flock of white-faced ibis I have ever seen. Thousands were feeding in fields flooded by snow-melt near Ovid, Idaho, and this was just a small part of the flock. When they took off, they all went at once, sort of like the massive flocks of snow geese in California. But, unlike the geese, they were nearly silent.
I like to keep a dated record of shots on spring migration !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking
Nice light on this mornings walk with the dog. I caught this flock heading south over the salt marshes on edge of Morecambe Bay. A simple scene that seemed special.
