Every spring the Snow Geese move from their wintering grounds to their arctic nesting areas throughout the Midwest along with thousands of other waterfowl.
I have never seen so many. Amazing sight!
Just a small section of the tens of thousands of Snow Geese that are on the move across Pa. They will eventually make their way north to their breeding grounds on the Arctic Tundra.

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 :)
A Junco on a junket. These little winter birds, will be headed up north, and safe travels. See you next year.
Sandhill Crane
Kearney, Nebraska
I was invited to join some friends to witness the annual crane migration in Kearney. I have to admit that it was not on my bucket list, but it SHOULD have been! I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Nothing like getting up way before dawn, and quietly walking to a viewing blind to see and hear thousands of cranes waking to greet the morning. During the day, these beautiful birds are in the corn fields adding weight for their long journeys into Canada and the Arctic. I highly recommend that you add this destination to your bucket list.
I've never been very successful at bird-in-flight photos, but this (rented) lens helped me get some keepers.
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.
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
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.

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.
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 more artistic take on the typical Snow Geese blast-off shot. What do you think?
I had a great time photographing these birds in Richmond, BC recently. I took around 2500 shots over a couple hours. Every so often they would blast off in response to an eagle flying over. It was ar really neat experience to be right in the middle of the chaos!
With the last three days of cold showery weather it brought down lots of migrating geese in our area. Sturgeon County Alberta
