Warblers of Spring Migration
View allAll Photos Tagged migration
I'm revisiting some older photos of mine.
Thank you so much for your visits and kind comments dear friends and visitors-:) ❤️
these Wildebeest had spent the night in the woodlands and were heading towards the Ndutu Marsh area (in the south east of the Serengeti, Tanzania )
The south east of the Serengeti is the most southern part of the annual Great Migration . It is the area where most of the Wildebeest calves are born.
Many thanks for your views, favorites and supportive comments.

A winter view south across Utah's Emigration Canyon to the higher Wasatch beyond. The canyon was first traversed by the Donner Party in 1846, and then, a year later by the Mormon pioneers who settled the Salt Lake Valley below. This became a favored route through the imposing Wasatch Mountains to the far west.
Texture: Topaz.

Au sujet de l’art…
Je profite de Migration, pour continuer à partager avec vous mes réflexions sur l’art et la photographie…Aujourd’hui: Qu’est-ce que la beauté ?
Le point de vue d’un philosophe
« Le beau est ce qui plaît universellement sans qu’on puisse dire pourquoi il nous plaît : le beau est irréductible à un concept, à un modèle, à une explication » (E. KANT)
Le point de vue de ceux qui savent 😂
« On nous apprend souvent à chercher la beauté en toutes choses… Alors pour la trouver, le profane demande conseil au philosophe, tandis que le philosophe, ne sachant pas quoi répondre, s’en remet… au photographe. » (Criss Jamy. Killosophy)

About art ...
I take advantage of Migration, to continue to share with you my thoughts on art and photography ... Today: What is beauty?
The point of view of a philosopher
« Beauty is what universally pleases without being able to say why it pleases us: beauty is irreducible to a concept, a model, an explanation » (Kant)
The point of view of those who know 😂
"We are often taught to seek beauty in all things ... So to find it, the layperson asks the philosopher, while the philosopher, not knowing what to answer, relies on ... the photographer. (Criss Jamy, Killosophy)
Male Magnolia Warbler was a nice surprise and added it's bright yellow to another dark area. Hickory Run SP, PA.
Philadelphia vireos summer in Canada, and though this one is not much south of the border, it is likely en route to winter quarters in central America, and not a resident here in far northern New York. Any seen in Philadelphia are almost certainly in the midst of migration - north, or south.
Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird at my feeder. Here in Eastern PA. we don't have flowering plants this time of year for these guy's to go to. My backyard.
This spring I heard the soft gurgling song of an Eastern Bluebird. I thought it couldn't possibly be, since bluebirds don't inhabit the woods. I looked up and there she was looking around, just long enough for me to get a shot off. She could see this wasn't the right place for her to raise her family. Our property surrounded by large trees just wouldn't do. Glad she stopped by.
An image from last spring in Prince Edward County - I have one week or work travel before I get a chance to head back there for a few days to check in on the migration.
Last year my visit coincided with a major push of Grosbeaks and Orioles, and they were everywhere along the shore, in flocks. I had not witnessed a landing by so many of a single species before, let alone a species that one is lucky to find, let alone photograph, in Ottawa.
My preference is always to find birds in habitat and to situate them as such in images, but every once in a while opportunities arise for a completely clean image.
Lots of warblers on the move in the last few days .Fall migration is happening here.
Backyard Isle Lake
The last few days some shorebirds are showing up on our shoreline. The fall migration is starting. Isle Lake Alberta
A lifer bird and a surprise in and around the Longpoint area earlier this migration. Since this was at the side of a busy road impossible to get eye level without trespassing so here is my best shot with a reflection!
A complete surprise to find a group of these birds in my local forest park, but it appears a large group is migrating northwards with the recent warm weather. As the snow melts in March this unofficially kicks off migration of larks, meadowlarks and Blue Birds. It means winter is coming to a close (although it often has the last laugh!)
