Migration is underway - - but certainly a little later this year due to our harsh winter - - many local ponds are still frozen. This is a picture from late March last year - - I had been shooting the migrating ducks for awhile already in local ponds - - currently Lake Ontario is one of the few games in town.
Either a female or immature male magnolia warbler. They are coming through WNC at a fast and furious pace now. Taken at the Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC.
Mule deer live in the mountains around here in the summer and migrate into the Bear Lake Valley in winter. They sometimes graze these farm fields in huge numbers and one year we counted more than 300 here at North Eden, Utah, less than a mile from the Idaho border. The east side of Bear Lake is much drier than the west side so the deer usually don't have to battle deep snow here. This photo doesn't show the entire herd which numbered about 40 now. We saw just one buck here. They tend to be more wary around people and stay back in the hills as long as they can.
Migration - small part of a large flock of swallows migrating, or preparing to migrate, at Bombay Hook NWR.
I scanned the flocks looking for less common swallows but these appear to be only Tree Swallows.
There are out of focus rafts of ducks in the background including pintails, wigeon, scaup and gadwalls

A peaceful scene at the Mara river! The wildebeest and zebra seemed relaxed because the water was low and the crocodiles were full for the moment! This photo was taken in the Masia Mara, in Kenya, Africa!

Last December I went to Bordeaux to watch cranes on migration. A rare opportunity to 'go full nerd', and it was truly amazing, a genuine natural spectacle not far from our shores. And if we can restore our countryside from its ecologically degraded state, they will come back here too.
For warbler hunters, this is the best time of the year I if you experience the right conditions. This spring in north Florida there have several periods of strong west winds and rain at night. Not wanting to be pushed out over the Atlantic too far with lots of rain and clouds, the migrating flocks put down along the coast. I wish that wouldn't happen to them and they could continue on, but it is amazing to see so many birds all at once feeding in the trees. Yellow-rumped Warblers were everywhere and this is the first time I had seen a male in his finest breeding colors. This is the Myrtle or eastern race with its white throat and black mask. The yellow crown patch is visible and distinctive.

I keep reading how the migration patterns have changed for
ducks and geese. They don't migrate where and when they use to . . . say 50 to 75 years ago.
Hey, this isn't Waikiki Beach on Oahu! It's northern Iowa, where we've had snow, wind and freezing rain already. Aren't you Canadians going south yet?
Eh?

Lots of warblers coming through our property in northern NJ right now. Magnolia Warbler, perfectly posed under a bit of goldenrod. (And not a terrific photo, but, hey - sometimes it's about capturing the moment.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and faving my photos. Its very much appreciated!
I love these little critters. They are now passing in good numbers towards the North of Europe for the next breeding season. Good luck!
I hope that this video gives a little sense of the wonder of the great migration evokes. I hope humans never get in its way.
A revisit to a picture I worked on with some friends, 8 years ago to this very day.
Originally taken in my magical garden at the time "Puzzlewood" the Fay and friends have now migrated to "Seawinds" which will also disappear to the winds of Second Life very soon (in its current form anyway)
For some reason I wasn't confident enough in my abilities to post the picture I took all those years ago which is a shame but you can see my friend Huw's original version here:

You can also see Huw's recent version of this picture at this link:

No matter how the magical mists unfold as Seawinds is born again, Fay and friends will always be welcome ♥

Hula Valley
The place to watch thousands of migratory birds and birds of Israel.
BBC Wildlife Magazine, the world's best-selling natural history and environmental magazine, has named the Hula Lake Park one of the most outstanding sites in the world for nature observation and photography.
The Hula Valley is an agricultural region in northern Israel with abundant fresh water. It is a major stopover for birds migrating along the Syrian-African Rift Valley between Africa, Europe, and Asia. The marshland around Lake Hula, a breeding ground for mosquitoes carrying malaria, was drained in the 1950s. A small section of the valley was later reflooded in an attempt to revive a nearly extinct ecosystem. An estimated 500 million migrating birds now pass through the Hula Lake Park every year.
