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
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.
I took a road trip last week in search of some warbler species that aren't common in my area. This Chestnut-sided Warbler was one of the species I hoped to get a look at.
A lonesome Pronghorn antelope (the only antelope in North America) looks for a way home - the path of wild grass could be just the ticket!
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.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
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.

"another one bites the dust", another month about gone....soon it will be crane migration through the midwestern states.....
dancing in the corn stalks coming soon.....the sandhill migration, if you've never experienced it you need to. Hundreds of thousands of cranes migrate through a 'funnel' area in Nebraska along the Platte river on their way to spring nesting areas.
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.
Lots of Sandpipers and Plovers with a few Dowitchers, Dunlins and Caspian Terns thrown in.
Coyote Point. San Mateo County, CA
I saw 75 to 100 Pelicans in this migration flight

Pelicans are a genus of large water birds that make up the family Pelecanidae. They are characterized by a long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped-up contents before swallowing. They have predominantly pale plumage, except for the brown and Peruvian pelicans. Wikipedia

The Sandhill Cranes are still migrating through the area on their way to their winter home. I am guess probably Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico. I took this here in March but saw several hundred here yesterday.
