Wintering on trees in Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo County, California, USA. An icon, and one of the few butterflies the average person may know or recognize, this species is in serious decline.

On a wintery day a family of Snow Geese come in for a landing, their wings backlit by the setting sun. A vast field of white birds blending with the snow was an awesome site.Migrating from the artic regions, they winter in Delaware. Forming strong family ties they can live up to thirty years.

A Monarch butterfly has stopped off along the Maumee River at the new Glass City Metropark. Toledo, OH 9/6/2021
Refueling on a Butterfly Bush. Afterward it flew off to the southwest - well every one of the handful that came by flew off to the southwest on their way to their wintering area.
Snow geese are migrating through the state of Idaho. Loved the layers of birds in this image and the color contrasts, such a beautiful blue sky we had.
In autumn,the Monarch Butterflies follow the shoreline and congregate in numbers before crossing the Great Lakes on their way to wintering grounds in Mexico.
There were maybe three dozen migrating monarchs feeding in the park that I saw last Saturday, all in perfect condition for the long flight ahead.

Always I see migrating birds I want to make a picture. Isn't it a great natural metaphor of time or of desires of leaving or coming back? When I saw them last sunday I had to shoot them. I decided to make it monochrome because the subject seems to be shown clearer and it fits more my intention. What do you think?
The trees were full in the morning. By noon they took to wing and departed. Brazos Bend State Park, Needville, Texas, USA.
Indigo Bunting
Petrifying Woods, Kenosha Wisconsin
The indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea) is a small seed-eating bird in the family Cardinalidae. It is migratory, ranging from southern Canada to northern Florida during the breeding season, and from southern Florida to northern South America during the winter. It often migrates by night, using the stars to navigate. Its habitat is farmland, brush areas, and open woodland. The indigo bunting is closely related to the lazuli bunting and interbreeds with the species where their ranges overlap.

My guess is that this was one of the main migrating flocks. They are probably stopping here to rest and feed. I think some of them will attempt the flight across lake Erie to Southern Ontario which is part of the summer breeding area. In the western end of the lake they can island hop over to Canada, if that is what they will do. The Erie islands first, then Pelee island, then Point Pelee, their home then in southern Canada.
More than 10,000 migrating snow geese in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. They will stay here for 2-3 weeks before heading south.
Taken by stilt ponds at the Miranda shorebird centre in New Zealand. Breeding in Alaska, the kuaka (bar-tailed godwit) return to Aotearoa (New Zealand) and eastern Australia each year with about 80,000 of their whanau (family). These troopers take the longest non-stop flight of any bird because they do not rest or feed on the sea.
The parade of these guys passing through our yard has definitely slowed down. Dozens here at the same time has ebbed to one, maybe two and sometimes none.
This time of year I see lots of migrating cattle egrets heading south. At night they they roost in flocks of many hundreds in the trees at a townhouse complex across the street from the city park where I shoot. It's pretty amazing to see flocks of large birds like this in the city.... See comment below for info on cattle egrets from wikipedia.
