Osoyoos Oxbows
Osoyoos, BC
I live along the migration path of Sandhill Cranes and American White Pelicans. For brief periods of time, I get to see them on Osoyoos Lake or in the Osoyoos Oxbows.
While on my way to work this week, I spotted the Pelican's. When I zoomed in, I was excited to see the Sandhill Crane's hanging out not far from them.

Le migrazioni sono spostamenti che gli animali compiono in modo regolare, periodico (stagionale), lungo rotte ben precise (ed in genere ripetute), e che coprono distanze anche molto grandi,
ma che, poi,
sono sempre seguiti da un ritorno alle zone di partenza.
Migration Refueling Stop
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
Migration
I left Louisiana for Idaho 10 years ago. Since high school, I’d wanted to move out west. But at the time, I was thinking Arizona-ish, the desert – particularly so after Tragedy’s first Tour to the west coast in ’02. Picking Idaho as my destination felt a bit obvious after investigating typographical maps of the west.
We are explorers by nature. It’s no wonder that as more & more people become able to work remotely that many of us are moving our cages to places of personal interest. However, we’re not biologically tuned to leave our tribes. Family and life-long friendships help with mental health through limbic-regulation. Briefly, limbic regulation is a natural phenomenon where our bodies sync up via an open loop in the limbic portion of the brain. The limbic portion of our brains is also responsible for our emotions. You’ve certainly heard about women’s menstrual cycles syncing up, or when 2 or more people are vibing, their heartbeats will sync – that’s the limbic system at work.
A few months ago, I posted a picture called “#love” that featured only 2 trees experiencing life next to one another in an open field. I was actively thinking about how the limbic system keeps us alive when I took that photo -each tree sustaining the other. Just as a newborn finds its circadian & other vital rhythms using the limbic connection to its mother, our limbic connection to our partner can support us well into old age. How many times have you noticed when an elderly person passes that their spouse wasn’t too far behind?! That’s love. Considered ‘dying of a broken heart’, chronic loneliness spawns disease.
As it becomes easier & easier to migrate, never have too much pride to return. It’s ok, it’s healthy.
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

We visited Freezout Lake this weekend, where the Snow Geese pause in their migration north. I'm not sure how many were there this weekend, but there can be up to 300,000 at times. This is a "few" of them flying from the lake out to the grain fields to feed in the evening.
Eastern Monarch butterflies roost in trees at night for protection as they migrate south for the winter. These photos were taken at a farm in Central Ohio. Apparently they have been roosting there for several years; really beautiful to see the Monarchs gather there for the evening. You may have seen more Monarchs this summer. After years of decline, the Eastern Monarch butterfly population nearly doubled in 2025.
Now the Mallards are beginning to gather for their trip south. I think they know something I don't. Have a great weekend wherever you are!
out on the back waters of the Mississippi the other day to do some bird watching. I think there may be up to 10 different kinds of birds here in this picture alone. It's a refuge so we tried to let them rest but it was hard not to paddle closer.
These tiny birds are absolutely adorable. We do not see them often. Lucky day, they are on migration. If it stops eating for an hour and half it dies from starvation. They have to eat all the time. That is why they are hyper-active and rarely perch. Lucky day!

According to science, there isn't much to the spread of plants.. however, behind the scenes, a massive transportation advantage has been kept secret by every plant species for decades...
Three builds depicting:
Mushroom Tank - Cruiser: Commonly utilized for the silent fungi takeover of Britain forests during the 1939-1945 moss wars.
Shrubbery Unicycle: A entertaining mode of travel popularized in the 1800s by shorter shrubs, as it allowed for better scenic views while higher up.
Bonsai quadruped - Extreme version: A newer style technology, utilizing 4 extremely mobile legs for speedy mobility. A migration vehicle only brought into use in recent months, and sure to revolution the transportation industry... however the NMM (National Magnoliophyta Military) has recently purchased the design patents . . . is a new plant war on the horizon?
I have already posted several pictures of the Semipalmated Sandpipers I captured in Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia. These images were taken in the Bay of Fundy at Johnson's Mills, New Brunswick where I headed after Sackville, only a 30 minute drive. This is where you will find the greatest numbers of these shorebirds during their migration between mid-July to mid-August. I spent two days observing them and this is the biggest flock for me which was approximately 45,000. Much greater than in Grand Pré. In this case, the Peregrine Falcon flew over the flock at rest on the beach and picked one up. Needless to say the entire flock took off..... the view and sound cannot be described, just spectacular.
It's getting to be that time here in Minnesota , when a lot of of waterfowl visit lakes and ponds to rest and fatten up for their long migratory journey.
And we have a lot of Canada geese in the park. They're migrating south at the moment and we do hear them when they fly over the house occasionally. It's kind of come to symbolize the mournful sound of winter's ushering in to me. Kind of bittersweet sound.
Hey Mon, you can't help but notice the increase in the number of birds flying north. Just this morning a flock of Jamaican Gulls flew overhead on their way to northern nesting grounds.
Tank Jah, I had my camera nearby. I quickly grabbed the Pentax and captured this Jamaican Gull who had briefly stopped for a rest before continuing his journey.
Av a good day an don't worry bout a ting - see ya lata.
Preparing for migration

When they turn one way you see the white of their bellies. When they turn the other you see the brown of their backs. This flock is in mid-turn
Flocks of peep sandpipers (probably Western or Least) are in the marsh. When they get up and whiz around in their mega flocks you can hear the rush of their wings and the myriad peeping calls. People use the term force of nature all the time, these migrating flocks truly live up to that term.
