The cormorants are almost done migrating through our area as they head southward for the winter.
I found these four resting on an old jetty, taking a break from their 1 to 2 thousand-mile journey. I'm always amazed that birds are able to complete their arduous trek twice a year. The stamina and drive required for the migration is extraordinary!
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.

An aerated area in Crystal Lake where there were hundreds of water foul beside or in the open water. It was about -16 degrees below zero on this morning, and several actually looked frozen.
Canadian Geese, swans, snow geese, ducks and several I couldn't tell what they were due to the haze around the open water!
What happened to migration? Seriously?

.Each year thousands of Monarch Butterflies flock to Pismo Beach. From late October to February, the butterflies cluster in the limbs of Eucalyptus trees at Pismo State Beach. While it may be winter elsewhere these insects have come 2,000 miles from Mexico every year . They like this grove as it protects them from the wind and group together to stay warm and mate. Sometimes they will burst like a great confetti balloon to fly up 100 feet and then come back to cluster together looking like brown leaves in the distance. I have seen them here 3 or 4 times over many years and its is one amazing site just 300 feet from the Pacific Ocean.

Our trip to Tanzania was timed to coincide with the return of the annual wildebeest migration from Kenya's Maasai Mara to the Serengeti, which involves many thousands of them crossing the Mara River.
Here, a large group of wildebeest mass on the north bank of the river (whilst a Nile Crocodile waits in the middle).

There were thousands of monarchs resting in trees and plants on the south shore of Lake Erie before making the long flight to their winter resting grounds in Mexico.
DAY 1
The light is slowly fading. Still in the Humber Estuary.
For a beautiful moment a skein of geese fly alongside. Already on the trek South? Like us?
Twice a year we go South, once in Spring , once end of Summer.
Did you know that geese:
- eat more than 1-5 pounds of grass per day
- average about 5 goslings per year
- weigh 20 to 25 pounds
- mate for life and will stay together throughout the year
- adult geese lose wing feathers during this time and are unable to fly.
- geese can fly again approximately 6 weeks after moulting.
- generally by August all geese are able to fly.
- resident geese do not know how to migrate.
- resident geese can fly long distances as their migratory cousins,but generally have learned that it is not necessary.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

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.
I wished I could have done a better job on this but it happened so fast! I waited for another half an hour hoping another group would follow but it never happened.
Happy Thursday, Everyone!
Thank you so much for the visit and the kind comments and favs! They are very much appreciated!
Trumpeter Swans against a stormy sky. Trumpeter Swans migrate from up north, down to the more southerly areas of North America where they will stay the milder winters.

[Spring migration] This was an unexpected find yet goes to underscore why South Padre Island is such an attractive venue in spring migration. WBC. S. Padre Island.
The spectacle of the annual winter migration of the Elk Herds from the Rocky Mountain Foothills towards the Ranch Country just Northwest of Calgary.
As you can see, definitely not suitable for everyone.

Bevor die Gnus sich endlich entscheiden, den Mara River auf ihrer jährlichen Wanderung durch die Serengeti zu überqueren, spielen sich am Ufer teilweise dramatische Situationen ab. Die möglichen Crossing-Points werden dabei immer wieder panisch gewechselt. Diese Situation kann sich über Stunden hinziehen. Hunderte Tiere sind somit ständig in Bewegung.
Before the wildebeest finally decide to cross the Mara River on their annual migration through the Serengeti, sometimes dramatic situations play out on the banks. The possible crossing points are changed again and again in panic. This situation can last for hours. Hundreds of animals are thus constantly on the move.
