Snow geese resting up for the next leg of their northern migration. :)
To the left, just out of frame, are 65,000 other snow geese, give or take a thousand!
Perfect warm night with rain so Stace and I went down to the Skaneateles Conservation Area to see if any Spotted Salamanders were crossing the roads on their annual migration to their breeding ponds. Sure enough the area was full of them. We helped over 15 salamanders and countless frogs across the road, hopefully ensuring the next generation of these amazing creatures. Happy Friday!
Witnessing the Monarch Butterfly migration in my South Texas yard this November was truly magical! These beautiful creatures seemed to love the tiny pastel purple flowers that were growing wild on our property.

Après la période de reproduction, les grues se regroupent en nombre parfois imposant pour partir en migration et hiverner dans des zones plus accueillantes.
Ces mouvements ne passent pas inaperçus, les grues se faisant parfois entendre à plusieurs kilomètres.

An invasion of caterpillars at the end of August 2011
in the end.
We were looking for the big herds on 10 safari days.
At least we saw them on our very last day south of Naabi hill moving into the Ndutu area, where we´ve been 4 days before.
Bad timing, but a lucky end.

I am glad the Hummingbirds are still in our area, but soon they will begin their epic migration south.
Yearly migration takes these magnificent birds from northern Canada to the south and they very graciously have chosen to fly over our neighborhood. If you can call open ranch land a neighborhood. We did see several thousand in the air and on the ground. Amazing to see and amazing to listen to the conversations that are taking place in flight and on terra firm...
We look forward to their return next year.
Back in August this year I took this photo of a female Osprey with leg bands, near Inverhaugh, Ontario, Canada. After I submitted the band number to Bird Banding Lab I received a Certificate of Appreciation on August 6, stating that the bird was banded in 2010, in a nest 6 km south of Luther Marsh, not too far from where I saw her. In an e-mail to me on Oct 13, the bander, Mr. David Lamble informed me that the bird was reported seen recently in Santa Ana, Misiones, Argentina! After she left Ontario, most likely towards end of August, she has made safely to her wintering ground 9000 km away. What an incredible journey. I hope that she comes back next year to raise another brood of young Ospreys. I am looking forward to that event.

The Spring Migration Blitz challenges birders to seek and record Rusty Blackbirds during their spring migration northward. How can you help? It’s easy! Search for this elusive species anywhere you want, and report your sightings to eBird using the “Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz” protocol. Although we encourage birders to search for and report Rusties any time between 1 March and 15 June, our suggested time frame for each state and province provides a guide for when you might expect Rusties to pass through your region.
Millions of gnu participate the migration. Other stay in specific place. In all case that's quite impressive to see.
Although the migrations occur in a cycle between Tanzania and Kenya, most of the movement takes place in Tanzania which covers Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Loliondo Game Controlled Area, and Grumeti Reserve. In Kenya the migration stretches to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, bordering Serengeti National Park in the north.
