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?
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!
A herd of caribou, in line formation, moved toward the Dalton Highway to continue on their southern migratory path toward the Brooks Range. Our guide pulled our van over to the side of the road and we waited for them to cross the highway. Unfortunately, there was an increase in truck traffic at that time, and the noise and speed of those large vehicles caused the herd to turn around. Our guide said that they would try to make the crossing in another day or two. Seen between Deadhorse and the Brooks Range, AK

According to the "Migration Update", I took a day off and went there before sunrise, because the birds will take off around the sunrise. When they took off, and passed me over head, and that was what they were, moon and geese.

I bought this lovely art piece from Denise Kooperman, a Trumansburg, NY artist that works with felt.
Here is a collage of screenshots of the great wildebeest and zebra migration in the Maasai Mara in Kenya. What an amazing sight. Thanks to 'safariLIVE', Africa Geographic, WildSafariLive on FB and youTube for providing the live feed and great videography.
"The migration of nearly two million wildebeest and zebra across the plains of Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara is one of the oldest and last great land migrations on the planet. The movements are dictated solely by the rains and food sources (grasses), with zebras eating the long grasses, while wildebeests follow to feast on fresh shoots."
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ANY AND ALL VIEWS, COMMENTS AND FAVES, ETC.
Alewives during their annual river migration from the ocean back to their spawning grounds. I used the Outex underwater housing for my Nikon Z6 with the NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens.

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.
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.

Her freckles migrated with the north winds
too cold this time of year for skin kisses,
near-misses
grey eyed girls can't wait too long
blushed cheeks extinguish themselves in a rush of ice cold reality
this is not the time for backward glances,
second chances
grey-eyed girls can't wait too long
At High Park, Toronto, there were masses of monarch butterflies gathering for the trip to Mexico. It was windy and the plants were wildly swaying and the butterflies were constantly opening and closing their wings. This was the best of the many shots I tried to take and didn't have as many butterflies as some of the blurry shots.
**If anyone knows what this bush is.. I'd love to get some for my garden!
Singing Waterthrush
With spring migration starting to warm up, I decided it was time to check a creek at a park near work on my lunch break. The woods were quiet on my walk in, but as I got to the creek, I heard the song. I found this Louisiana Waterthrush up in the tree singing loudly. I ended up locating it directly above me, when it decided to drop down into the creek, literally right in front of me. I was very surprised to see this, but to my surprise, it didnt seem to be too bothered by how close to me it was. I watched it move about in the shallow water and eat bugs it was finding, and then, it started to sing again. Luckily it was positioned in such a way that it was square up to me and the sun was in the right spot. I got the whole song on photos, but I like this one with its little tongue sticking up.
