Great Migration: wildebeests crossing Mara River
Serengeti fire, Tanzania trying to keep the animals from migrating to the Mara
(Masai Mara, Kenya; July 2010)
In one of the most dramatic river crossings of recent years a mad rush of an estimated 30,000 wildebeest hurl themselves into the Mara River...in a desperate race (in the the wrong direction!) towards lush grazing to the south of the river.

What does it mean to be an immigrant? And who is really impacted when people leave their homes in search of a dream? Is there more to the story than what is debated in the press? Using popular education tools, the Latin American and Caribbean Community Center leads participants in mapping their personal migration stories and identifying the forces that encourage us to get up and move.

A steady stream of birds migrating south down along the Pacific coast at the Oysterville Approach on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington on 8/26/2024. I am so sorry that I do not know what kind of birds they are - any guesses are welcome. The stream was going strong when I pulled onto the beach, and I was there trying to record for 20 minutes before the light got too bad. Such an amazing event to witness! 🙏
The Dialogue held on 26 September 2017, was attended by more than a hundred people including, representatives from various ministries, embassies, academics, researchers, employers and workers representatives, civil society organizations.
The meeting continued the implementation of the India-EU Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility (CAMM) signed last year, and comes ahead of the upcoming India-EU Summit to be held in Delhi in October 2017. The CAMM addresses four pillars: better organized regular migration and the fostering of well-managed mobility; prevention of irregular migration and trafficking in human beings; maximizing the development impact of migration and mobility; and promotion of international protection.
Las tarifas de contratación son injustas. Ningún trabajador debería pagar por conseguir un empleo decente. Todos los trabajadores y trabajadoras tienen derecho a un empleo digno, tanto en su país de origen como en el extranjero.
Únase a la campaña de la ISP para la abolición del cobro de tarifas de contratación a los trabajadores migrantes. Firme el Manifiesto y utilícelo para cambiar la política y la práctica para lograr un proceso de reclutamiento ético y equitativo.
For those of my contacts with an interest in watching birds (Harry! Are you reading this?!), this is to let you know that the Loch Garten resident female osprey, EJ, is back (only today!) from her winter migration. And she's begun tidying up her nest.
The RSPB team at Loch Garten are excitedly awaiting the arrival of the male -- and wondering who he will be this year.
Last year's dramatic osprey breeding season at Loch Garten was a story of joy, sorrow, achievement and extraordinary endurance. You can watch all the ups and downs live on your own computer at: www.rspb.org.uk/webcams/birdsofprey/lochgartenvideo.asp. (Be patient while they're sorting out the quality of the video display.) I watched it all last year, and it was truly amazing!
The blog on the webcam page will also keep you up-to-date with all the goings on off-camera.
A skein (is that the right word?) of geese over the back garden. Thousands have been migrating lately. I wonder where this group are heading....
These are some of the unlucky ones that never made it across the river and end up as food for crocs and vultures, an different side of what has been dubbed "Seventh Wonder of the World". This photo was taken in the Masai Mara in Kenya.

The day I took the photo I had the definitive confirmation of something that had been a possibility for months: going to Utrecht to do a 3-month stay for the PhD.
Il 20 febbraio 2017 si è svolto a Roma un Preforum Workshop in preparazione all’International Forum on Migration and Peace (21-22 febbraio 2017). Obiettivo: fare il punto sul contributo delle organizzazioni religiose alla gestione dell’attuale crisi migratoria.
Tra gli interventi anche quello di monsignor Gian Carlo Perego e quelli degli scalabriniani monsignor Silvano Maria Tomasi (Dicastero per il Servizio dello sviluppo umano integrale), padre Fabio Baggio (sottosegretario alla sezione Migranti e Rifugiati dello stesso dicastero), padre Alessandro Gazzola (superiore generale della congregazione scalabriniana) e padre Gianni Borin (superiore regionale dei missionari di Europa e Africa). goo.gl/GW87b7
My very first fabric postcard. Made for the Project Quilting Challenge #6, triangles, at the last moment. Measures 4 inches by 6 inches. Made right here in Deary, Idaho.
Raw edge machine applique, strips of light blue for the sky and brown triangle geese. Inspired by the triangle scraps, trimmings from another project and somehow still sitting around in my sewing room instead of tossed in the trash.

During what is almost certainly the world's greatest wildlife spectacle thousands of wildebeest hurl themselves down a cliff-face into the Mara River. (In the 40 minutes that this frantic crossing took only 6 animals died).
The wildebeest, also called the gnu is an antelope of the genus Connochaetes. It is a hooved (ungulate) mammal. Wildebeest is Dutch for "wild beast" or "wild cattle" in Afrikaans (beest = cattle), while Connochaetes derives from the Greek words konnos ("beard") and khaite ("flowing hair"). The name "gnu" originates from the Khoikhoi name for these animals, gnou.
Wildebeest are famous for their annual long-distance migration, seemingly timed to coincide with the annual pattern of rainfall and grass growth. The timing of their migrations in both the rainy and dry seasons can vary considerably (by months) from year to year.
