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.

The name of this bird is Mugimaki Flycatcher (Ficedula mugimaki). It is a small passerine bird of eastern Asia belonging to the genus Ficedula in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. The name "mugimaki" comes from Japanese and means "wheat-sower".
It is about 13 centimetres long. It has a rattling call and often flicks its wings and tail. The adult male has blackish upperparts with a short white supercilium behind the eye, a white wing-patch, white edges to the tertials and white at the base of the outer tail-feathers. The breast and throat are orange-red while the belly and undertail-coverts are white. The female is grey-brown above with a pale orange-brown breast and throat. She lacks white in the tail, has one or two pale wingbars rather than a white wing-patch and has a supercilium that is either faint or absent entirely. Young males are similar to the female but have a brighter orange breast, white in the tail and a more obvious supercilium.
It breeds in eastern Siberia and north-east China. Migrating birds pass through eastern China, Korea and Japan in spring and autumn. The species winters in South-east Asia, reaching western Indonesia and the Philippines.
The main habitats are forest and woodland, particularly at higher elevations. It is also found in parks and gardens during migration. It usually occurs alone or in small groups, feeding on flying insects in the tree canopy.

A little late in the year, but we were fortunate enough to watch this crossing. Not the smartest animals in the world, but the migration was fascinating.

The wildebeest (plural wildebeest or wildebeests), also called the gnu ( /ˈnuː/ noo or /ˈnjuː/ new) 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".

Ahhh...spring (early summer) when the new iPhones begin their migration from Shenzen, China to your local FedEx warehouse where they sit until a secret signal tells them it's time to be delivered. Let the obsessive status checks begin!

We were lucky to catch the tail end of the wildebeest migration. We only saw them on our way in and out of the actual Serengeti park as they had already left those plains and were heading farther South with the rains. The site was very cool. Torrential downpours and herds and herds of the strange animals.
Another photo of the White Storks on migration. This helps to put into perspective the sheer number of birds. Even this shot could not capture all the birds in a single frame.
It looked like a tornado storm as they all spiralled-up into the sky to gain enough height to make it over the Black Sea.
A Truly memorable sight.
the tree to the top left is full of monarchs but they look black against the sky. There were many monarchs in flight. These Monarchs are found at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario Canada every September. They stop here on their migration down to Mexico. Point Pelee is the most southerly point before the Monarchs have to cross Lake Erie. Thousands can assemble here waiting for favorable weather conditions. We saw about 500 today.
