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
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!
In the phase of the spring migration that we experienced on Pelee Island, a couple of species were disproportionately present in the waves of migrants moving across the Island. One was a bit creepy and ultimately sad - the superabundance of Red-breasted Nuthatches, who were casualties of the change in weather - and these Gnatcatchers. I hadn’t seen one until a year or so ago, and this spring they were a presence in every mixed flock. They can be challenging to get a decent image of, as they are always on the move. I really liked this backlit image from Lighthouse Point.
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.

These three cranes were atop new construction in Atlantic City. Yes, time for a new casino! When I saw the three of them together, it was like they were posing. Of course, I couldn't help by apply a very light Fractalius filter.
Thank you to vrot01 for suggesting the subtitle...
There were about 50 grebes moving between open water spots and running across the ice. Some would fly and they looked so akward
Common Crane (Grus grus)

What a grey day at the refuge. It however was exciting. A fox ran across the gravel road as I was taking pictures of the cranes. The fox was way swifter than I was. The migration is winding down in this area and soon I will photograph the eagles, ducks and swans along the Mississippi River Fly Away Zone close to home.home

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.
I wish I could be a bird
and fly away

Last week, I saw the biggest flock of birds I have ever seen. They took up the whole sky and as they flew over you it was in slow motion. It seemed as if I was in a movie. That is what inspired this photo. <3
The annual fall migration of Common Green Darners (Anax junius) will soon begin. The young immature adults are emerging in force and dot the surrounding vegetation with their soft young bodies. Feeding swarms of these young dragons will soon fill the air as fall develops. They will eventually fly south for winter. Patuxent Research Refuge, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

Many species of migrating birds are dependent upon timing their migration from South America to take advantage of the horseshoe crabs spawning in the Delaware Bay, so the birds can feast on the crab eggs and relish their strength sufficiently to complete their migration to Northern breeding grounds.
This photograph of red knots and ruddy turnstones shows a very small part of large flocks of different shorebird species gathered at Reeds Beach on the Delaware Bay in New Jersey to feast on the horseshoe crab eggs. Photograph taken on 5/15/2018
More birds migrating. I put seed on the ground for them but it seems the birds just passing through.
The squirrels and doves make sure that the seed don't go to waste.

The result of the wet winter in California has resulted into a super bloom. The super bloom has lead to the migration of a BILLION painted Ladies (butterflies) from Mexico to Oregon. They can live up to six weeks the first generation will make it to northern California the second generation will make it to Oregon. Painted Ladies can fly at nearly 30 miles per hour and cover close to 100 miles per day.
For several day's now there has been thousands and thousands of Painted Ladies moving through Orange County. It's an amazing sight.
Every year thousands of Wildebeests make their way from the Southern part of the Serengeti northwards to the Kenyan Masai Mara. See more of my pictures at www.ruedis.ch
