Hancock County - Iowa

 

I was always under the impression that when December, snow and cold weather came around . . . Canadian Geese and other water fowl migrated south . . . or somewhere?

 

This isn't Waikiki Beach on Oahu, get going before you freeze into the pond water!

A Junco on a junket. These little winter birds, will be headed up north, and safe travels. See you next year.

The Sandhill Cranes are still migrating through the area on their way to their winter home. I am guess probably Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico. I took this here in March but saw several hundred here yesterday.

Archive image of Eurasian (Common) cranes, wintering in Bordeaux as part of their seasonal migration. It was an awesome experience to see and hear thousands of these magnificent birds moving and living together.

 

Also into red, purple, pink and orange tones at the moment :)

In the desert, mud from flashfloods becomes a highway for the movements of a variety of living organisms. Small mammals and birds leave noticeable tracks across the tableaus of clay as they search for the beetles and worms and centipedes who find their way in and out of cracks searching for other creatures carried in from rain-scoured banks to sustain and or possibly inhabit and infect the locals.

I share this image to project to you our own human traverse across this planet; how the infinitesimal can bring us to its table in a flash; how our movements have made us vulnerable; how we must consider our own large and noisy footprints.

Every fall the Canada geese return to Sauvie Island, Oregon.

At this time of the year most of our bird species gather to continue their nomadic life in warmer conditions.

These golden plovers come from the North. They stop down here for some food and rest before proceeding with the journey.

A huge waterfowl migration happened yesterday. North of St.Albert

"The great Elephant Migration Display" is happening now at the Rhode Island Cliff Walk and Newport Mansions.

With the last three days of cold showery weather it brought down lots of migrating geese in our area. Sturgeon County Alberta

American Redstart, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 22, 2019.

 

One of the many warbler species that pass through Rondeau during migration.

 

Setophaga ruticilla

American Redstarts flash the bright patches in its tail and wings. This seems to startle insect prey and give the birds an opportunity to catch them.

A male Painted Bunting visits my yard during migration.

Guardo sempre con entusiasmo e ammirazione il volo degli uccelli, in formazione, diretti verso terre lontane, con la resilienza e la forza che solo gli animali possono avere...

elles passent chaque jour près de chez moi il y a quelques jours des centaines posées dans les champs de maïs, un bruit assourdissant mais quel spectacle

Nouveau passage dans la soirée.

At DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge near Missouri Valley Iowa. Estimated to be 500,000 to 700,000 birds. Incredibile sights and sounds when the geese took to flight.

This either juvenile or female Yellow-rumped warbler was also enjoying the backyard birdbath. Spring migration and warm weather here ... they all love the water features. Sorry, but you're going to have to endure a lot of these Spring birds with me!!! I practically home bound so when they come to my yard, WooHoo!

The sunrises recently have been spectacular here along the Front Range of Colorado. On this day, the sun slipped behind some clouds at the end of the main event and presented this amazing skyscape. The misty clouds heavily reduced the brightness of the sun allowing this image to be taken without a filter.

 

Image notes: I stood in this spot busy with Canada Geese migrants hoping for a large group to fly in front of the sun. Instead what I got were multiple sorties of smaller groups flying in front of the sun. I couldn't resist the temptation in post to composite those groups into the larger flock you see here. ;-)))

Last shot in this set, a Baltimore Oriole. A few of these nest in town each year; this male looks pretty chunky with his feathers all fluffed and his neck tucked. Despite the snow, it really wasn't cold, but I suppose it helps to be flying around in a down jacket.

 

More birds coming up - the migration is well underway and I've lost track of the new arrivals - but for now this is the last snowy shot from Laureen's backyard.

Flocks of geese keep passing through the Fernhill Wetlands.

They are far fewer in number now...the migration has begun...still a few getting in that last bit of "fattening", then they will be gone, til next year!!

Quest'anno non ho notato in cielo i soliti numerosi stormi di uccelli migratori. Sarà stato il caldo anomalo di questa estate e di questo autunno sempre mite... ma forse sta diventando troppo tardi per le vere migrazioni. E il tempo di riproduzione di questi animali è certamente più breve.

Li rivedremo?

 

Buona giornata
