I made the photos because they were flying and acting in formation as if they were migrating and maybe were not the common yellow-legged gulls.
With the low light I couldn't see enough details.
I asked some experts and they confirmed that they were 6 (in this photo 5) lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus intermedius) so indeed migrating back!
James, Ken, Leslie, Wendy and I went to the Platte river to see migrating sandhill cranes. On the way, we came across these snow geese instead. The math guy among us estimated there were at least 200,000 birds. I was glad I haven't watched Hitchcock's bird movie in a while.

About 500,000 migrating snow geese at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge. They are incredibly loud, and move as a group that, at times, looks like a dark cloud in the sky.

The fall migration of Monarch Butterflies came through in mid-September. I had just enough time to get a few shots before they were gone. Sadly, these were the only Monarchs I saw all summer.

Several times through the late morning and afternoon we saw groups of Turkey Vultures who were obviously migrating. Sometimes we would see them kettling to gain altitude, but we would always see them stream south, with their wings set like this.
storks from alsace once migrated seasonally to africa, but they were hunted, polluted etc to the edge of extinction, now they are being reintroduced but they no longer migrate to africa, instead they spend the winter in alsace... like this little guy. living on church steeples and the like.
