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!

I was a few kilometers outside of Sydney Harbour when I glimpsed the beauty of the Humpback Whales migrating from the Antarctic seas to the warmer waters of the tropics. Some members of the pod decided to be playful and show us a trick or two.
I have already posted several pictures of the Semipalmated Sandpipers I captured in Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia. These images were taken in the Bay of Fundy at Johnson's Mills, New Brunswick where I headed after Sackville, only a 30 minute drive. This is where you will find the greatest numbers of these shorebirds during their migration between mid-July to mid-August. I spent two days observing them and this is the biggest flock for me which was approximately 45,000. Much greater than in Grand Pré. In this case, the Peregrine Falcon flew over the flock at rest on the beach and picked one up. Needless to say the entire flock took off..... the view and sound cannot be described, just spectacular.
From Orion Magazine: Here's what last night's flocks of migrating birds looked like on NEXRAD radar. According to USGS, "When NEXRAD weather radar data is collected, it not only contains information about weather events, but it also captures the presence of birds in the air column." This information is helping scientists track avian migration like never before. And it looks cool. Recorded on 9-14-14.
These clouds were seen moving across the sky just north of Victoria, Texas.

Snow Geese take flight from a Pennslyvania corn field after being spooked by an eagle.
This flock should be leaving any day for the artic tundra. It was freezing out with a rainy, snowy mist. Then again, if this weather keeps up, they may never leave.
Just click the magnifying glass above the photograph.

The Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve is an important habitant of one of Africa's biggest zebra populations.
A flock of birds took flight despite the bitterly cold wind. This scene became quite impressive as the sun rose behind the clouds, which illuminated the distant tops of the cloud bank in addition to casting a series of crepuscular rays over the open water. To the right, a mature steam devil drifts across the horizon.

Engineers Australia is the designated body for assessing skills and competencies regarding engineering occupations in Australia, works with the Department of Home Affairs, migration agents and international organizations to develop rationalized procedures of migration skills assessment for engineers who wish to migrate to Australia. Every year, thousands of engineers in and outside Australia apply for Migration Skills Assessment, and EA helps them to achieve their goals. There are some guidelines that need to be followed by the engineers who are applying for Engineer Australia Skill Assessment.
Fall migration is peaking. The number of birds in the air tonight is mind boggling. A good time to be outside.
Bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produce these forecasts.
