Another talented songster here. Regardless of wandering the certain damp, deciduous woods all summer long, listening to a Veery singing his beautiful melodies, I have not been lucky enough to capture a decent photo of him. Ugh. So, I am posting a photo of a Veery I captured a year ago, hah!
Veery is a plain, brown and white bird, a bit smaller than a Wood Thrush (another magical singer I have not been able to adequately photograph regardless of multiple attempts). The enchanting, ethereal and spiraling notes of a Veery are truly heavenly sounds in a quiet summer forest with shaded streams and wildflowers. It's like listening to someone playing a flute!
Veerys spend their winters in central and southern Brazil. When migrating, radio telemetry shows these little birds fly 285 km (160 mi) in one night, and that they can fly at altitudes above 2,000 m (1.2 mi). Right now, in mid-August, they have begun their fall migration from Wisconsin to southern South America.
Back to Iceland and the iceberg remnants on the black sand beach. This reminded of migrating sea creatures. Jokulsarlon, Iceland, April 2021

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...

A juvenile Sandhill crane stretching out after preening at The Creamer’s (an old dairy farm site) Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge in Fairbanks Alaska.
Even though this shot was taken just a few weeks ago, it was fall in Fairbanks with the aspens just a week or so away from full fall colors. I envy this young lad/lass as it travels south along the Pacific Flyway and what it will see!

The original photo was taken on the shore of Lake Atalan in Guatemala. Photofox Surreal Skies was used to create this image.
A large portion of this image was created in the Photoshop Beta Program with AI. The right 1/3 of the image was created with AI as were the migrating birds, about 50% of the sky, the compete sunset, So fun to do!!! Very interesting platform they are working on and it is all available for use commercially without fear of copyright infringement. All AI modifications are taken from Adobe Stock Photos.
Anfang Februar, so frĂĽh habe ich hier in der Westpfalz noch nie Kraniche gesehen.
At the beginning of February, I have never seen migrating cranes so early here in the Western Palatinate.
Every spring the Snow Geese move from their wintering grounds to their arctic nesting areas throughout the Midwest along with thousands of other waterfowl.

We stayed at a lovely place on the water just south of Sidney, on Vancouver Island, BC. We had lovely sunrises and a large flock of geese that swan south every day.
Sandhill Cranes begin to gather before migrating south for the winter at the Horicon Marsh. Numbers will increase in the next few weeks, as they build up energy, feeding in farmers fields.

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

A Ringed Salamander (Ambystoma annulatum) undergoes its annual fall migration in the Ouachita Mountains of eastern Oklahoma.
The long rains continued well into May and the grass is still green in the southern Serengeti, so the great migration is only now, in early June, moving into the Western Corridor. Here, a few thousand wildebeests parade west, following the path of the Mbalageti rRiver. A migration is dependent on rains and lush grass, and there is plenty of both.

By far the most migrating birds we see here are starlings, unfortunately an invasive species..... This was a small flock of them at Chisholm Creek Park - I see much larger flocks near my house.
Common redpolls (Acanthis flammea) are somewhat rare winter guests in Germany, where there are sightings in several places every year, but some years see an invasion of a larger number of these birds, most likely due to lack of food (at least in comparison to population size of the specific year) in the usual habitats of Scandidavia and northern Russia. This winter we see some of that activity, and as a result there are several smaller groups (5-25 birds) in and around my home town, with larger flocks of up to 800 birds also in northern Germany.
Taigabirkenzeisige (Acanthis flammea) sind etwas seltenere Gäste in Deutschland. Es gibt jedes Jahr Beobachtungen, aber in einigen Jahren kommt es zu größeren Invasionen, höchstwahrscheinlich aufgrund von fehlender Nahrung (jedenfalls im Vergleich zur aktuellen Populationsgröße) in den klassischen Habitaten in Skandinavien und Nordrussland. Dieser Winter scheint ein solcher Winter zu sein, denn mehrere kleine Gruppen (4-25 Vögel) wurden in und um meine Heimatstadt beobachtet und größere Schwärme von bis zu 800 Vögeln in Norddeutschland.

Catharus ustulatus
Territorial disputes between males often take the form of singing duels, with song volume and frequency escalating until the combatants’ physical exertions are clearly evident. During these contests, rivals very occasionally invert their customary melody so that it spirals downward in pitch. A sing-off can lead to a chase and even occasionally to physical attack
Flying low just above Lake Michigan, these Cormorants were migratating northward on May 1st, 2025.
They often fly by in flocks of a hundred or more!
Enjoy...
