is going on right NOW, baby!
At least it is in my neck o' the woods.
Check this page to see if you're on one of the migration routes, and you can use this page to figure out when you might normally expect to see them. (Or, you know, go outside and look around every now and then in the fall.)
The peak migration for my area is supposed to be September 24 - October 6. I've definitely had plenty of monarchs in my yard for the last several weeks, but they weren't noticeably migrating: there was no southwestern flight pattern apparent, just a random circling of the garden, and a lazy flapping from flower to flower. I started thinking that maybe I just wouldn't recognize the migration when it happened. Wrong-o. It's going on right now! I opened the back door Thursday morning (October 8) to let Max out, and checked out the wildlife as usual: instead of the hummingbird and 3 or 4 monarchs that I've grown used to seeing, there was a hummingbird and sixteen (that's SIXTEEN!!!) Monarchs just on the white Buddleia and the milkweed right outside my back door.
I was transfixed.
I was spending the morning trying to complete a Stats project (due at 5 pm that day), and i really didn't have the time for any kind of butterfly-watching, but I couldn't help it. I grabbed my camera and headed outside.
They were everywhere. I stared, open-mouthed, at the buddleia/milkweed combo, covered in butterflies, and then I turned around: they were all over the rest of the yard, too. The pink butterfly bush, the milkweed, the lantana, the chaste tree, the tithonia; all were covered in monarchs. They scattered when i got close, and the photos from more than a couple of feet away don't let you see the butterflies, so i settled for lots of solo shots. None of the sky shots turned out, but there were constantly monarchs fluttering over my head, too, all headed southwest. It was amazing to watch.
I snapped all of these in the course of about 10 minutes.

The new fish migration camera at Vattentorget. No live action during my most recent visit. The date on this photo/video says November 2024. Placed in the old Nils Ericson sluice at Norra slusskajen, it captures fish migrating between Saltsjön and Mälaren. In the background they are working on a new bridge for cyclists. All part of the gigantic Slussen project.

As an effort to provide better protection and recognition to Indonesian migrant domestic workers, the ILO, in collaboration with SmartFM Network, a leading radio station in Jakarta, organized an interactive talkshow titled “Optimizing the Protection of Migrant Workers through Bilateral and Multilateral Agreements” on 8 May 2013, in Jakarta.
The talkshow also marked the launch of the ILO’s latest publication on labour migration titled ”10 Years of Work on Labour Migration in Indonesia.” The publication highlights the ILO’s support and actions on labour migration in the country, ranging from policy development, capacity building to migrant workers empowerment and awareness raising.

Migration of birds – geese and subluminal stimuli.
I’m happy, when I participate in being a witness of migration of birds, geese.
I’m very lucky fellow I’m living in Inverness, North Scotland where the gooses have their expressway. On the end of January the middle of February over my house thousands of birds traverses. Intensity is taking place in the morning. I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered, that the gooses come around 8.10 am every day for a week, as an immense wave.
Amazing performance! I think that it is incredible, what distance those birds can cover, and also overcome problems, tiredness.
I think it is amazing what the gooses can see, meet and the big experience achieves.
I know that is the instinct, part of their live. Instinct, which gives them great opportunity to meet our world. Of course, most probably gooses don’t notice that.
But, what if?
What, if geese deeper the knowledge and experience. Birds watch world and see the changes that is happening. What, if they want to tell us something important, make us realize, enlighten.
From the last two years I was thinking about gooses as some kind messenger. I really like watching them; I am trying to take photos of their performances. The goose’s gaggling chains my attention. In my opinion gaggling is very pleasant, not like for example noise made by seagulls – screech.
The gooses cannot speak any of a human language. We cannot speak like gooses.
But, what if, the geese find a way to communicate with the people. Sings in the sky. What if, they created signs for us?
Maybe, the gooses want to share with us their experience and observations.
That idea comes whilst watching my photographs of gooses. Their bodies in the sky remind me of some kind of exotic language; Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian or even Russian Cyrillic. Those sings, in my personal opinions are full of beauty and magic.
What if for hundreds of years the geese have been watching us and coexistence the gooses discovered what kind of signs is taking to the people?
Of course we are still too busy, living in stress, and we don’t pay attention, what is happening around us. We are losing our self.
My idea is going farther.
What if, the geese through subluminal stimuli pass us their experience and knowledge?
Maybe the geese are asking questions about something very important that matters?
Do you know, where is this everything going to? Do you know what you are doing? Maybe the geese shout to us: DON`T RUN LIKE THAT, LOOK AROUND YOU!
i stuck my camera out the window while i was driving... shouldn't do that, but who hasn't, really? lol...
