Three male spotted salamanders on the march to their breeding pond. I actually found these salamanders under cover near the pond and set this shot up to mimic their migration which takes place at night during or after warm late winter/spring rains.

Although it's the tail end of the annual migration, there are still very nice mixed flocks around. This particular one has Short-billed dowitcher, Red Knot, Dunlin, Black-bellied plover, Western sandpiper.
A wonderful sight.

It would be a lamentable loss for our children and grandchildren to never have the opportunity to view the magnificent beauty of shorebirds.

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.

A couple warm days last week perhaps triggered the Sandhill Cranes to start their Spring migration. I've never seen this before so I must be more observant these days. There were many more than the ones pictured here and it was amazing to watch them.

Across the vast savannas of Kenya's Mara Plain, the great annual migration unfolds each year, as it has since the dawn of civilization. Traversing the arid land, come millions of animals..on their long trek from Tanzania north to Kenya, traveling side by side, ... .crossing rivers and the African plains in their perennial, age-old quest for food and water. And close at their heels follow the predators, leopards, cheetahs and Lions
My favorite thing every fall is to be able to witness these ethereal beauties head south. They are very active this week and a cold front is coming mid-week-that is always what they move out on. Goodness, I love them so much. Happy weekend friends.

A flock of umbrellas (Umbrella Gothica Nigra) during autumn migration.
"Within a population, there can also be different patterns of timing and migration based on the age groups and sex. Only the female umbrellas migrate, with the males staying resident." (Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_migration)

The spring songbird migration is something that every birder/bird photographer worth a damn looks forward to...except me. I have had the worst time trying to get photos of these little balls of fire. They are either zipping around too quick for me to nail a shot or they are taunting me from 80 feet above my head. This year I plan to change my luck...and I started with this Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum).

THEY'RE BACK!!!!!! Just like clockwork, every spring that Ive been here, the Rose Breasted Grosbeaks show up the first week of May. This year, my first bird was a female, and then was later joined by another female and 2 males in the afternoon. i saw my first pair many years ago at our old house, they were there for a morning then vanished. Several years went by and i finally saw another female there. The past 3 springs at the new house has been only males, so I was actually delighted when the females showed up. these birds definietly like to perch first before going to the feeders, so the photo branches will be used heavily for them. Next to catch a male in a good spot.

Seeing the wildebeest migration in person is something so fantastic, so spectacular, that I can't even begin to describe it.
Yes, you can watch it on television or on youtube, but to be there, to hear the constant and air-filling 'muuh'-sounds, to hear those thousands of hoofs approaching, to smell them, the dust flying and to watch them taking that dive into the dangerous water of the Mara river, is something completely different.
And when one takes that plunge, all others follow, without hesitation, no matter what lies in the waters waiting for them.
