This Philadelphia Warbler was giving some great looks this morning as it was feeding at the local metro park. There must have been a northerly wind last night because it seems like there was a really nice influx of migrants today.
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
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.
As always, I am always very late in posting my pics... ah well, better late than never... more editing to do!
Tom's Butterfly Garden earlier this morning. The silvery leaves of the Buddleja davidii (Butterfly Bush) look almost like butterflies in migration themselves.
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)
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.

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
And I got my eye on you my little gem of an angel. Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird on a Cardinal Flower Vine. I shoot handheld for these quick, zipping around little cuties. My backyard, Central Bucks PA.
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!

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!
Hancock County - Iowa
I was always under the impression that when December, snow and cold weather came around . . . Canadian Geese and other water fowl migrated south . . . or somewhere?
This isn't Waikiki Beach on Oahu, get going before you freeze into the pond water!

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
Lifespan: 15 – 25 years (In the wild)
Wingspan: 6 – 12 ft. (Adult)
A small procession of cranes emerging from the morning mist.
The fog reduced the world to silence and rhythm — nothing but soft tones and slow movement across the field.
Moments like this are why I love wildlife photography.
Kranichzüge über unserem Haus am Sonntag, den 22.11.2015 in Richtung Süden, nachdem die Stürme hier in Norddeutschland aufgehört hatten.
Crane migration over our house on Sunday, the 22.11.2015 towards the South, after the storms had stopped here in North Germany.
