Red Breasted American Robin, on it's way South, to winter and hopefully return. Seems young, and has a good chance at that.

Yep, they flew right by me, headed for their mating grounds at Center Camp, and to get some coffee :-)
I live on the south coast and at this time of year we see many birds heading south for the warmer climates. Most of the birds are of the common variety, but once in a while you can spot something quite rare for our shores.
This was a wonderful surprise capture as I was heading to Charleston last week to help my daughter with her move.There were soooo many birds and so many different kinds all heading South to get away from the snow storm that hit the north I'm assuming...
Great White Egrets-Storks-Herons Green and Great Blue and a Great White-Glossy Ibis and White,and Seagulls!This view went on quite a bit further but I wasn't able to get a better view due to the vegetation and the fear of scaring them away,one of the reasons I always carry my camera...
It's fall, and millions of monarch butterflies are migrating to warmer climates for the winter—heading either to the Californian coast or to certain mountains in Mexico. Why do the butterflies need to migrate?
Monarch butterflies know fall is here the same way that we do; they feel the chill in the air. While we adapt by putting on a sweater, the situation is much more serious for the monarchs. Temperatures below 55°F make it impossible for them to fly; temperatures below 40°F paralyze them. The monarchs originated in the tropics and can't live for long at temperatures below freezing.
At the same time that the air is cooling, the nectar supply that feeds the butterflies is dwindling. To survive, the insects begin migrating in late summer, flying with the wind to reach their winter homes.

Notes: I found one of my grandfather's handwritten lists on the back of an envelope nested inside his birdwatching book. He immigrated to the U.S. after WWI seeking better opportunity. My work is often inspired by the common areas between human and animal behavior.
The mural "San Diego Migration" was painted in 1994 by world-famous artist Wyland. It is number 64 in his series of 100 "Whaling Wall" murals and shows five gray whales migrating down the California coast.
The mural is 160 feet wide by 60 feet high. It can been seen when landing at Lindbergh Field in San Diego and on the San Diego Trolley from and to Old Town.

I raised almost 50 Monarchs, that my husband and I, either found as caterpillars, or eggs. It has been so rewarding to see the process. The ones we release now, are headed to their wintering grounds, in Mexico. I hope some of them make it! Next Spring they will leave their wintering grounds, and fly north to Texas, and begin the process all over again. They will mate, and lay eggs, after laying eggs that generation dies. The next generation will continue the trek north, mating, and laying eggs. They will go all the way into Canada. The forth generation is the different one, they will make the epic migration 2-3 thousand miles back to the forest in Mexico. All this to say......the generation I am releasing now will be part of this amazing migration! I pray many will make it!
