Snow Geese fly overhead as the marshy lake at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge freezes during this sunrise shot. The mix of the fog and haze in the low areas mixed with the partly cloudy skies and partially frozen marsh lake made for a very interesting reflection of the birds and trees.
Encore plusieurs groupes en l'espace de 30mn environ.
Je croyais que c'était fini. Est-ce que cela sent le froid arriver ?
Passage 16h40
Barnacle Geese: A break at the grasslands next to the North Sea. In a few weeks they start to the last part of their trip to the nesting area high in the North of Europe.
As always, I am always very late in posting my pics... ah well, better late than never... more editing to do!
It's that time of year and the geese are headed south...
This was captured a couple years ago on a cold January day, so these geese may have been part of a small flock that sometimes stays in our city during the winter.
Tom's Butterfly Garden earlier this morning. The silvery leaves of the Buddleja davidii (Butterfly Bush) look almost like butterflies in migration themselves.
these Wildebeest had spent the night in the woodlands and were heading towards the Ndutu Marsh area (in the south east of the Serengeti, Tanzania )
The south east of the Serengeti is the most southern part of the annual Great Migration . It is the area where most of the Wildebeest calves are born.

A few of the 1.5 million Wildebeest that migrate around the Serengeti every year. In late September large groups, hundreds strong, cross the Mara River as they head back south.

Blackburnian Warbler
(Setophaga fusca, formerly Dendroica fusca)
The Blackburnian Warbler is a small New World warbler. They breed in eastern North America, from southern Canada, westwards to the southern Canadian Prairies, the Great Lakes region and New England, to North Carolina.
Blackburnian Warblers are migratory, wintering in southern Central America and in South America. These birds were named after Anna Blackburne, an English botanist.

I saw this bird along with a few other migrants on the shoreline of Lake Ontario. It came so close where I was sitting a few times that I could not focus, almost full frame.

Hello everyone, I have been back for a week now but still very busy catching up with the multitude of tasks. Currently I am away for a few days in Bendigo where there are matters to attend to.
I had an enjoyable trip in both Madagascar and Kenya, took heaps of photos and I am happy to spot the big five but a bit disappointed not to witness a migration crossing the Mara River!
Will catch up when time permits.
Happy Travel Tuesday
"another one bites the dust", another month about gone....soon it will be crane migration through the midwestern states.....
A refueling stop for a monarch butterfly on its way to Mexico. I've seen a fair number of monarchs passing though Wichita this fall on a regular basis, but typically just one at a time and not in any big bunches.

I witnessed an awesome crossing of Wildebeest in Kenya a couple of years ago! While going through my photos I am again overwhelmed by the view of this spectacular event!

Thanks for visiting, commenting and faving my photos. Its very much appreciated!
Caught this Rufous with a multi-flash setup in my area. Migration is well underway, this one is out of range East a bit, but occasionally visits the area, first time to have one in my yard. Looks like he will stay the winter here. Selasphorus rufus
Every spring the Snow Geese move from their wintering grounds to their arctic nesting areas throughout the Midwest along with thousands of other waterfowl.
I have never seen so many. Amazing sight!
Lots of Sandpipers and Plovers with a few Dowitchers, Dunlins and Caspian Terns thrown in.
