"When the great migrations began the bloodhounds of religious fervour found succor in the situation. The waves of humanities tide broke on the beaches of the western world and opened the floodgates forevermore. We watched as aid became anger, as over population stretched resources and liberalism until they snapped.
Whip-lashing through the thousands whose starved and desperate bodies shivered in the breaking waves"
Here we are on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall between Exeter Street and Fairfield Street ... with many of our closest friends both human and pachyderm! My children (and many others) as well as my wife and me had a great time here for about an hour. I hope you enjoy the photos and the herd will be here until sometime in early September.

In backyards and forests across the eastern U.S., one of nature’s greatest spectacles is underway. Although it may lack the epic majesty of the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti or the serene beauty of cherry blossom season in Japan, this event is no less awe-inspiring. I’m talking about the emergence of the Brood X cicadas.
Every 17 years the billions of constituents of Brood X tunnel up from their subterranean lairs to spend their final days partying in the sun. This generation got its start back in 2004, when Facebook existed only at Harvard University and Friends aired its last episode. The newly hatched cicada nymphs fell from the trees and burrowed into the dirt. They have been underground ever since, feeding on sap from the rootlets of grasses and trees and slowly maturing. All of that preparation has been leading up to this moment when they surface in droves—up to 1.4 million cicadas per acre—to molt into their adult form, sing their deafening love song and produce the next generation before dying just a few weeks later.
23 YEARS in the desert and i learn yesterday that these hairy spiders migrate from the west into the East just in time for Halloween! There migration path is about a quarter mile from our property-directly across the property of our pet sitter. Needless to say I am thankful i never walked outside to a heard of the tarantulas-but now- the interests and photo ops has me on direct dial with two folks who live there - so i can capture this event if more of these hairy fellas migrate through
Furry Migration 2017 is a furry convention held in Minneapolis, Minnesota from August 25-27, 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
Fenix is the new art museum about migration in Rotterdam.
The exhibition ‘All Directions’ is organized around six themes: migration, identity, fortune, border, flight and home.
Border
Borders have existed since time immemorial. They seem so self-evident that we almost forget they weren't always there. Yet borders can change. A border, and the documents needed to cross it, is nothing more than an agreement between countries. Passport stamps demonstrate that such an agreement can be decisive; anyone who doesn't get the correct stamp is denied entry.

These familiar plastic bags are used everywhere. They go by various names: "Ghana Must Go Bags" in Nigeria, "Bangladeshi Bags" in the United Kingdom, "Polen Tasche" or "Türken Koffer" in Germany, and "Zimbabwe Bags" in South Africa. Migrants worldwide pack their most important belongings in them before their departure. Dan Halter created a traveler and a world map from the bags. On the map, the contrasting checkered patterns mark the country borders.

Fenix is het nieuwe kunstmuseum over migratie in Rotterdam. De tentoonstelling ‘Alle Richtingen’ is opgebouwd rond zes thema's: migratie, identiteit, geluk, grens, vlucht en thuis.
Grens
Sinds mensengeheugnis zijn er grenzen. Ze lijken zo vanzelfsprekend dat we bijna vergeten dat ze er niet altijd waren. Toch kunen grenzen veranderen. Een grens, en welke documenten je nodig hebt om deze over te steken, is niets meer dans een afspraak tussen landen. Paspoortstempels laten zien dat zo’n afspraak allesbepalend kan zijn, wie niet de juiste stempel krijgt, wordt niet binnengelaten.
‘Patterns of Migration’, 2015 en ‘Rifugiato Mappa del Mondo (China)’, 2019 door Dan Halter (Zimbabwe, 1977)
Deze bekende plastictassen worden overall gebruikt. Ze dragen verschillende namen: ‘Ghana Must Go bags’ in Nigeria, ‘Bangladeshi bags’ in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, ‘Polen Tasche’ of ‘Türken Koffer’ in Duitsland en ‘Zimbabwe bags’ in Zuid-Afrika. Wereldwijd stoppen migranten er hun belangrijkste bezittingen in voor vertrek. Dan Halter maakte een reiziger en een wereldkaart van de tassen. Op de wereldkaart markeren de contrasterende geblokte patronne de landsgrenzen.

Trillium Lake Whale Watching…
Drawn by magnetic forces… the summer whale migration is expected to peak from the solstice (6/21)… until the full moon (6/26) The magnetic field balance is expected to return to seasonal norms after that time.
These camera shy creatures are sometimes seen browsing on lakeshore brush. Optimum viewing conditions occur during periods of light campfire smoke and mirror smooth water conditions.

Life-sized (or larger) stained glass birds "in flight" at the Kennedy Center. This installation features approximately 90 of Faroese painter and sculptor Tróndur Patursson's trademark stained glass birds. They looked quite impressive and very colorful.
an early migration! When these Cranes head north it usually signals the end of any cold weather. I think I've seen about 800 so far this evening.
At one point, Brooke reported the water level in the pen reached the top of his rubber boots. Chicks are happy.

Qashqai (pronounced [qaʃqaːʔiː]; also spelled Ghashghai, Qashqay and Qashqa'i, Persian قشقائی) are a people in Iran speaking a Turkic language. Qashqais mainly live in the provinces of Fars, Khuzestan and southern Isfahan, but especially around the city of Shiraz in Fars.
The Qashqai were originally nomadic pastoralists and some remain so today. The traditional nomadic Qashqai travelled with their flocks each year from the summer highland pastures north of Shiraz roughly 480 km or 300 mi south to the winter pastures on lower (and warmer) lands near the Persian Gulf, to the southwest of Shiraz. The majority, however, have now settled, or are partially settled. The trend towards settlement has been increasing markedly since the 1960s.
The Qashqai are made up of a number of tribes and sub-tribes including the Amalaeh, Darreh-Shuri, Kashkuli, Shesh Baluki, Farsimadan, Qaracheh, Rahimi and Safi -Khani.
Historically, the Qashqai are believed to have come from Central Asia, and may have been among the Turkic groups that arrived in Iran in the 11th or 12th centuries. Some of these groups began to identify themselves as Qashqai in the 18th century or possibly earlier.
According to the Encyclopedia Iranica, they are "a conglomeration of clans of different ethnic origins, including Lurs, Kurds, and Arabs. But most of the Qashqai are of Turkic origin."
"To survive, nomads have always been obliged to fight. They lead a wandering life and do not accumulate documents and archives.
But in the evenings, around fires that are burning low, the elders will relate striking events, deeds of valour in which the tribes pride themselves. Thus the epic tale is told from father to son, down through the ages.
The tribes of Central Asia were forced by wars, strife, upheavals, to abandon their steppes and seek new pasture grounds . . . so the Huns, the Visigoths, and before them the Aryans, had invaded India, Iran, Europe.
The Turks, forsaking the regions where they had dwelt for centuries, started moving down through the Turan and Caspian depressions, establishing themselves eventually on the frontiers of the Iranian Empire and in Asia Minor.
We are of Turkish language and race; some say that we are descendants of the Turkish Ghuzz Tribe, known for its cruelty and fierceness, and that our name is derived from the Turkish "Kashka" meaning "a horse with a white star on its forehead". Others think this name indicates that we came from Kashgar in the wake of Hulagu. Others still that it means "fugitive".
Though these versions differ, we believe that the arrival of our Tribes in Iran coincided with the conquests of Jengis Khan, in the thirteenth century. Soon after, our ancestors established themselves on the slopes of the Caucasus. We are descendants of the "Tribe of the Ak Koyunlu" the "Tribe of the White Sheep" famed for being the only tribe in history capable of inflicting a defeat on Tamerlane. For centuries we dwelt on the lands surrounding Ardebil, but, in the first half of the sixteenth century we settled in southern Persia, Shah Ismail having asked our warriors to defend this part of the country against the intrusions of the Portuguese. Thus, our Tribes came to the Province of Fars, near the Persian Gulf, and are still only separated from it by a ridge of mountains, the Makran.
The yearly migrations of the Kashkai, seeking fresh pastures, drive them from the south to the north, where they move to their summer quarters "Yaylaq" in the high mountains; and from the north to the south, to their winter quarters, "Qishlaq".
In summer, the Kashkai flocks graze on the slopes of the Kuh-è-Dinar; a group of mountains from 12,000 to 15,000 feet, that are part of the Zagros chain.
In autumn the Kashkai break camp, and by stages leave the highlands. They winter in the warmer regions near Firuzabad, Kazerun, Jerrè, Farashband, on the banks of the river Mound, till, in April, they start once more on their yearly trek.
The migration is organised and controlled by the Kashkai Chief. The Tribes carefully avoid villages and towns such as Shiraz and Isfahan, lest their flocks, estimated at seven million head, might cause serious damage. The annual migration is the largest of any Persian tribe.
It is difficult to give exact statistics, but we believe that the Tribes now number 400,000 men, women and children." Told to Marie-Tèrése Ullens de Schooten by the 'Il Begh' Malek Mansur, brother of the 'Il Khan', Nasser Khan, Chief of the Kashkai Tribes, in 1953.
The Qashqai were a significant political force in Iran during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During World War I they were influenced by a German consular official Wilhelm Wassmuss and sided with the Germans. During World War II the Qashqais organized resistance against the British occupation forces and received some help from the Germans, once again becoming the major political force in southern Persia. In 1945–1946 there was a major rebellion of a number of tribal confederacies, including the Qashqais, who fought valiantly until the invading Russians were repelled. The Qashqais revolted during 1962–1964 due to the land reforms of the White Revolution.The revolt was put down and within a few years many Qashqai's had settled. Most of the tribal leaders were sent to exile. After the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979 the living leader Khosrow Khan Qashqai moved back to Iran from Germany. He was soon arrested and executed in public for promoting an uprising against the government.

We were lucky enough to witness the very beginning of the great migration. It was amazing, wildebeest as far as they eye could see and this was just the beginning. Our guide told us in 2 weeks they'd block out the grass. The panorama's on the plains were amazing. Just took your breath away. The only downside was the cloud cover which made the sky unflattering. On the other hand, it kept us cool.
