As they travel the northern part of their route, the path is cut many times by the Mara River – a dangerous obstacle not only for its swift current but also for the predators that are concealed within it.

Hundreds if not thousands of monarch butterflies were gathering on the Spit today before crossing Lake Ontario during their migration south to Mexico.

Why can we not be like birds eh? LOL.
Well, they do ADAPT to their environment, a big must for ‘migrants’?
Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement, often north and south along a flyway, between breeding and wintering grounds.
Many species of bird migrate.
Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by availability of food.
It occurs mainly in the northern hemisphere, where birds are funnelled on to specific routes by natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea.

I know that someone will identify the top bird...which I'm sure is just passing through on migration North.
Weird behavior...the Swallow was perched on a small branch sticking up out of the water, The other bird, grub in beak, wanted the perch. This ensued.

The Nature Preserve in Nappanee Indiana, is a flurry of activity this week. The Monarch Butterflies are passing through on their migration to Central Mexico.
This was the last can.warbler I saw during the 10 days they are "available" in our area on their migration.If you are lucky to find one. It shows the challenging condition under which it is photographed. In the dark underbrush and unfortunately a little branch going across the bird.This Fall bird still has a very nice necklace. I would have been pleased if that branch had not been there but they don't sit still and most of the time are gone before you can get another shot.

ODC No! But Yes!
Yes...Birds
I am not quite sure what these birds are. Maybe Cormorants but they are so far away it's hard to tell.
Feeling both lucky and perplexed about this shot. Got out of the car after driving across town and looked up, mainly to check out the clouds, which have been in flux all day. Saw this flock of big slow-flying birds, hardly moving their wings, floating across the sky, almost directly above. Managed to get the camera in a case in my pocket out in time.. got off a quick point and shoot without a viewfinder. I'd like to know why they were flying north.
