Now for something a little different. Taken at the same location, just a merger of time.
4 minute exposure and 1/160 combined together into one idea. There is part of a 2 min exposure in there too, as the water had dropped several inches during the exposures.
Three Canada Geese were flying together from this same spot.
You can see black masses of these Cormorants coming from a long way off as they migrate southward... It's always quite a sight! These also are one of my favorite birds...

The largest animal migration in Kenya is known as The Great Migration, a year-long journey by millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem for food and water. The spectacle culminates in the Masai Mara in Kenya, where huge numbers of animals cross from Tanzania, making it one of the world's greatest wildlife-watching.
A few birds in this shot!
During migration, Semipalmated sandpipers stop at staging areas that provide food and enable fat accumulation required for long flights. The Bay of Fundy is the most important staging site for Semipalmated sandpipers in eastern North America: they can double their weight in less than two weeks eating the small shrimp-like invertebrates in the mudflats there.
Southern Ontario is the place to be for hawk migration, offering the greatest number of birds, and an impressive amount of available watches for spectators to view them from. Generally speaking, the best-watching sites are situated along the Great Lakes, as most hawks will exit Ontario across the Detroit River just south of Windsor.

For a couple of weeks in early November, there are flocks of black birds that fly over my neighborhood and they fly back and forth in the very early morning or just before dark. I mean thousands of black birds! It's amazing! I don't know why they fly one way in the morning and then fly the other in the evening, unless they are all different flocks of them.

Day 156 of 365.
Thousands of migrating Monarch butterflies have landed in Berkeley and they are causing a small stir. Almost as much as the annual newt crossing in the park.
We paid them a visit this morning, but they looked a little sleepy.
The clusters of butterflies reminded me of Favianna Rodriguez's art campaign which represents migrants as butterflies. www.culturestrike.org/project/migration-is-beautiful

At the end of july , wildebeests start their migration. The most famous spot is when they cross the rivers. At this time of the year, they are still in the bush and are so many that the car has to find a way thru them.
On the other side of the border, Tanzania starts some fires in the bush to avoid the wildebeests to leave the country, not a good thing for the tourists who go to Kenya to see them!

I’m not sure if anyone understands how the moment of crossing is chosen and by which of the many animals. The anticipation builds as the wildebeest pile up on the edge of the cliff.

Officials at the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge near Mound City, Missouri estimate that over one million Snow Geese are at the Refuge this month. It is a breathtaking sight.
One of my favorites at Magee Marsh and a very colorful bird. Granted he isn't a warbler, but I'm just getting started with birds so he'd do just fine as a wonderful subject. Folks would put out oranges and this would attract several orioles. I was using flash here and it did well in highlighting the feather detail.
