2011. Fir Island.
Snow Geese by the thousands start arriving from the Arctic in early October. Typically between 60 to 120 thousand Snow Geese migrate from Wrangel Island Russia to winter and feed in Washington's Skagit / Fraser Delta, 70,000 to 90,000 of those winter in North Puget Sound and stay until late March or early April.
The Fraser-Skagit Population Dynamic: "Snow geese that over-winter in northwest Washington comprise a unique population of intercontinental travelers shared by three countries: the United States, Canada and Russia. These snow geese make an arduous, annual flight to Russia's Chuckchi Sea, to breed on Wrangel Island off the north coast of Siberia. They are called the Fraser-Skagit population, because the same identification collaring/banding studies that disclosed details of their migration timing and itinerary, found that snow geese of this group had a high fidelity to one nesting site on Wrangel Island and to one wintering area, here. They stay apart from the other snow geese aggregations that nest separately on Wrangel and winter in California." ~ wdfw.wa.gov

ANNOUNCEMENT
In 2007 Planeta.com hosts an online conference focusing on Tourism and Migration which will highlight timely news and innovative work around the world.
www.planeta.com/ecotravel/tour/migration.html
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE - The Tourism and Migration E-Conference is Planeta's 18th formal e-conference. The format will differ from previous events in that dialogue will run over six months.
January/February - Dialogue among co-sponsors and those who register early.
March/April - Additional participants will be allowed entry in March and April.
May/June - Participants will conclude the dialogue by preparing recommendations and announcing individual and collaborative projects.
REGISTRATION - Registration is open.
BACKGROUND - Tourism enterprises are increasingly considered as as providing an alternative to migration and a vehicle to alleviate poverty in developing economies by creating jobs. Likewise, tourists are staying longer in places -- blurring the distinction between tourism and migration. The Tourism and Migration E-Conference will address these issues and allow participants time to prepare recommendations and announce individual and collaborative endeavors.
REQUIREMENTS - Active participants are asked to have a professional interest in tourism or migration. You don't have to be an expert in both topics. Active participants will be required to post an introduction and to post at least two messages per month. An account on the Planeta Forum is necessary for active participation, though the posts can be read by all.
SPONSORS - Sponsorship opportunities are available.

CALL FOR PAPERS - Planeta.com is seeking ordinal essays and recommended links to resources elsewhere on the Web. If you care to contribute an article or suggest a link, consult our writers' guidelines.

QUESTIONS
We ask participants to reflect upon the following questions:
What is the difference between slow travel and migration?
How effective is tourism in creating jobs and providing an alternative to migration?
What role do long-term foreign residents play in educating visitors?
Are investments in tourism training and infrastructure a viable outlet for migrant remittances?
To what degree does tourism development displace local people?

migrants picking strawberries in the greek province of Ilia - which produces 90% of Greece's strawberries. Most of the pickers receive wages well below the national average and live in shacks and are forced to pay as much as half their income in rent to their employers. The pictures are taken from indymedia athens.
Shot this with a 70-200, I have actually fallen in love with this lens because you can get such a detailed focus on a subject matter. I still love using my wide angle, but sometimes it provides just too much information.
