So its that time of the year when birds start flying south to warmer climes, I kinda wish I could go with them.
It snowed today, not that much, like a light dusting, but it still snowed. I have to face the fact that winter is almost here and its just gonna get colder from here on. I don't usually mind the cold but this morning was just unbearably cold (or it could be just because I was just wearing a sweater lol).
This shot was somewhat of an accident.... I had my camera on my leg and accidentally pressed the shutter and this was what came up... lol.

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.

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?

Just a couple of days ago I found numerous Prothonotary Warblers that had just crossed the Gulf in this area. All were exhausted and either on the ground or near it. This may be one of the birds I observed.
A study published by the British Ecological Society calculated that birds’ mortality rate is six times higher during migration than in their summer or winter habitat. Although these two periods are relatively short, migration accounts for more than half of annual mortality.

EXPLORE # 250 October 5, 2010 ---- Linda and I spent Sunday afternoon down at Curry Hammock State Park, on Vaca Key watching Hawk migration. We saw over a thousand raptors fly over, including 120 Peregrine Falcons. Sunday afternoon they were averaging 40 Peregrines per hour.
Photography at the site is very difficult as the birds are all very high in the sky. This image was hand held at 800 mm's so that gives you an idea of what it is like!! Well thanks for looking and all the wonderful comments !! Kevan and Linda..

During what is almost certainly the world's greatest wildlife spectacle thousands of wildebeest hurl themselves down a cliff-face into the Mara River. (In the 40 minutes that this frantic crossing took only 6 animals died).
Op het einde van de jaarlijkse 'great migration' die begint in de Serengeti (Tanzania) moeten de gnoes de Mara rivier oversteken die vol krokodillen zit. Zeer spectaculair!

Recent wanderings thru the forested areas of Sholayar, came across with this group of butterflies - Glassy Blue Tiger, Dark Blue Tiger n Common Crows, gathered in few hundreds, offer a feast for the fotographers' gadgets!!
Recent research unveled that the earlier theory of butterflies using their brain for selecting the exact migration route was wrong and instead they used their antennae!! The antennae located on their head act something similiar to GPS(Global Positioning System) which helps in locating exact routes of migration

The big red lips of the underground opens up to swallow all the worker bees on the way back to their hives for the night.Taken at the subway entrance in Hong Kong's Central Station.
Skimming the wave tops, red breasted mergansers are moving south along the shoreline in large numbers. This usually lasts a week or so and is a great opportunity to photograph a species I only see at the beginning of winter and again in spring.
They fly at such high speeds they look like darts zipping by!
