Quelques unes des Grues du Canada partant en matinée vers les champs de céréales moissonnés pour y prendre des réserves pour la suite du trajet...
Saint-Narcisse, Mauricie, Québec, Canada.
Every fall huge flocks of blackbirds migrate through this area. Thousands and thousands of birds make ribbons in the sky that may take ten or fifteen minutes to pass. Since the birds are small, the trick is to catch them flying low enough and close enough to get a decent shot....
The lead cow elk determines the best route to winter habitat as younger cows, spikes, and seasoned bulls follow. True migration, .... there's a lot to it. Its primal drive will certainly outlast the human species.
Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
The elk were out at Moraine Park this day. Just another beautiful day in the great state of Colorado. I love this park, it never gets old.
Another in a series of portraits of the month of November. Glacial Park, Ringwood, McHenry County, Illinois.
Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving, and if you are traveling, that you may safely arrive at your destinations.

I had just fallen asleep
With nary a peep
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my chaise to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
When what to my wondering ears should scream
but millions of blackbirds, hovering over our stream.
We had gone to the lighthouse to watch the whales. An annual migration for all of us. We usually wait until we know there are so many going by that we'll see some. We saw lots.
But just as we were counting spouts and pointing to pods coming through, this Coast Guard plane flew right over us. It followed the coast, like the whales only in reverse, so it came right to the point of Point Reyes at the lighthouse, then turned in towards Chimney Rock.
It felt like a big harmonic convergence of migrations. Ours. The whales. And the Coast Guard pilot.
The "Great Wildebeest Migration" is one of the highlights you can admire in the Serengeti National Park and, abosultely, must be in your "to do" list.
It was so impressive to see (and hear) thousands Wildebeests moving all together.
Amazed by the beauty of nature!
Canada Geese live in Victoria all year but numbers swell with wild geese most especially during migration from September to November. Many large staging groups were joining formations and departing Witty's Lagoon.
Canada's achieve speeds of 50 to 90 km/hr (30 to 55 m/hr) and can travel more than 1000 km in a day (over 650 miles).
I checked Cornell's live radar this morning about 4:30 a.m. CDT and it was showing over 800 million birds in the air! Bird migrations are one of nature's great phenomenons, yet most people are oblivious to them. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
A brief dog walk through our "Sedgewick Forest" woodlot was productive, having found a couple of Eastern Phoebes and several GC Kinglets.
Finally Oecophylla Smaragdina ants have decided to leave this tree and build their nests somewhere else. These leaves on this tree must have not big enough to build the nest. When they bending those leaves, they break apart from the tree automatically. Because of that, leaves are dying after few days. So the nest is also becoming weaker and unstable. But if they use big leaves to build the nest, they won't break apart from the tree when it bending. So try a big tree with gid leaves guys. Farewell.!!
** This is the end of the "Tale of Oecophylla Smaragdina"

The snow goose migration is well underway in central North Dakota!
This flock, captured five miles north of Woodworth, was one mile long and several hundred yards wide. The photographer said it took him 15 photos to capture the mile-long flock, which he estimates to number well over a million birds. There is no place like America's Prairie Pothole Region!
