Geese flying over Fern Ridge Wildlife area. This is a composite shot made from three different photos taken at Fern Ridge.
A pretty bird in her own right. The grosbeaks only pass through here on their migrations. I wish they would stay though! Have a blessed Sabbath day everyone!
In winter time, the coastal seagulls migrate inland and settle in the copse next to Broomfield lake.

Celebrating Western Monarch Day!
Each year, millions of monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles across North America to escape the cold and find suitable breeding grounds.
Their migration habits are an absolutely extraordinary example of endurance, instinct, and nature’s precision.

For Baz, you would love this sim.
You are a Kinglet? No! You are a hutton's vireo! A beautiful subtle bird of the forest, one with a large beak more yellow and far more subtle detail with the yellow poking through in a few areas that really separates one of these birds from a standard Kinglet
One of the most amazing sights in East Africa is the migration. We spent a lot of time just watching the parade of Wildebeest and Zebra go by. It seemed endless and a spectacle that I knew at the time I was lucky to experience. There’s nothing like it. I played with some slow shutter panning and came up with this image, which looked better to me in black and white. (Wildebeest - Connodhaetes taurinus; Plains Zebra - Equus guagga) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 444mm, f/20, 1/40 second, ISO 100)
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.
I think this one is a Palm Warbler. Another one through that double pane hurricane door. Aarrgghhh ... I cannot do that anymore. I just didn't remember what it does to my photos. I've been sick for so long ...
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.
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.
I love this sparrow with his bold black and white head. These are passing during migration and we can only see them for a short period of time.
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

Many migrants can be found here this time of year. By that I mean salmon, steelhead, coastal cutthroat, and wayward anglers.
August is a great time for shorebird migration so I was on the lookout for “peeps” on the newly formed mud flats in what was Cross Trails Pond at Brazoria NWR during a recent visit. My efforts were rewarded by several large groups of small sandpipers. The majority were Least Sandpipers but I did see decent numbers of Western, a few Baird’s and this Semipalmated Sandpiper. The short strait beak and dark legs are pretty good field marks. I have found that usually if I wait in the area where shorebirds are feeding, they will eventually work their way close to me but despite my best efforts to wait these birds out this was as close as I was able to get. Hopefully the next couple of weeks will yield some better opportunities.

Inside the migration museum Fenix there are people looking at migration related art.
Binnen in het migratie museum Fenix zijn mensen aan het kijken naar migratie gerelateerde kunst.
Fenix is housed in a historic harbour warehouse dating back to 1923. Once the world’s largest transshipment warehouse, it was designed by architect Cornelis van Goor and built for the Holland-America Line. Back then, it was known as the San Francisco Warehouse, stretching 360 metres along the quay. Over the years, the warehouse has been restored and transformed into a museum.
Fenix huist in een historische havenloods uit 1923. Ooit was dit de grootste op- en overslagloods ter wereld, ontworpen door architect Cornelis van Goor en gebouwd in opdracht van de Holland-Amerika Lijn. Het pakhuis heet dan nog Loods San Francisco en is 360 meter lang. De loods is in de afgelopen jaren gerestaureerd en getransformeerd tot museum.
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!

Thousands of Sandhill Cranes in flight during sunset over the Platte River (Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary - Gibbon, Nebraska)
Judging by the worn condition of this monarch, I'm guessing it was a returnee from spending the winter in Mexico. Not far away from this guy there was what looked like a new generation monarch feeding at the same time.
From the monarch migration tracking web site, it looks like we do have overlapping generations in this area during the spring migration: journeynorth.org/monarchs/news/spring-2020/04302020-eggs-...
The past few days we got to witness the great migration of cranes again in the eastern parts of the Netherlands. I get goose bumps every time I see them fly over, making their distinctive calls to the rest of the flock. A few years ago I managed to photograph flying cranes near a rising sun. Ever since then I had the wish to photograph them flying directly in front of the sun to really make out a nice silhouette. Earlier this week that wish came true. I got to a location where I knew they often spend the night during the migration north and saw eight of them standing in the water. I positioned myself between the cranes and the sunrise and waited for them to take flight. A few minutes after sunrise, the sun disappeared behind the clouds. “No luck this Spring”, I remember myself thinking. The cranes eventually took off 30 minutes later. While I was following them in the viewfinder, I suddenly saw them flying in front of a rising sun! The sun had appeared above the clouds again, and not only that, there was a nice horizontal cloud above it to give some more power to the photograph. Every now and then things just seem to come together and this week was my turn.
A herd of long legged elephant sculptures escaped from the Salvador Dali Museum in Monterey and were seen heading South across the dunes in Glamis California.

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?
