A Tundra Swan (Cygnus columbianus) stands on the frozen surface of a local pond with temperatures well bellow freezing over night in the area east of Tofield, Alberta, Canada. It caught many waterbird species off guard in the spring migration where they were forced to sit on the icy surfaces.

We have a large wintering population of bald eagles here in Winneshiek County, but now those numbers are being bolstered by additional bald eagles streaming in from the south in anticipation of the spring waterfowl migration season which is primed to bring myriad ducks and geese surging up the Mississippi River valley any day now.

Leiothlypis peregrina
(Tennessee warbler / Reinita de Tennessee)
The Tennessee Warbler (Leiothlypis peregrina) is a New World warbler that breeds in eastern North America and winters in southern Central America and northern South America.
A small (4 ¾ inches) wood warbler, the male Tennessee Warbler is most easily identified by its dull green wings and body, pale gray breast, and conspicuous white eye-stripes. The female is similar to the male, but is darker yellow below and on the head, with less visible eye-stripes.

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.

During my trip to Prince Edward County during the spring migration, we had one morning that stood out, thanks to a huge influx of birds. As is often the case in this part of the world, a few species were predominant in the arrivals. Thanks to its cheery, loud and persistent call (perfectly captured in its French name) the Least Flycatchers were easily noticed. And that call quickly eliminated the challenges of Empidonax identification.
This bird, found/heard on the edge of Lake Ontario as the sun began to rise, was focused on mating and eating (perhaps not in that order) and as with other birds arriving after a long trip, it was pretty indifferent to a respectful birder/photographer.
During migration, this tiny insectivore will fly over fifty miles a day to get to its breeding grounds.
I captured this rare visitor to Michigan last Saturday evening. I had heard a bunch of rumbling while I was at work that one had showed up at the beach in one of our local metro parks. When I got off work, me and my wife went to mass and after words headed over to the park. We located him out on the beach. He allowed me to photograph him without being spooked for a little bit. I spent about 10 min rattling off a bunch of images and then left him alone. Figured he needed some food and rest for the rest of his journey.
He was standing just on shore when this little wave came in and splashed off of him.
(Catching up as I been working 65+ hours a week for a while now)
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.
Encore plusieurs groupes en l'espace de 30mn environ.
Je croyais que c'était fini. Est-ce que cela sent le froid arriver ?

As always, I am always very late in posting my pics... ah well, better late than never... more editing to do!
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!
A surprise visitor last night on the beach. Migration is starting. Isle Lake Alberta. Looking for bugs and all he had to do is look up :-))
