Thank you to all for your kind words! I really appreciate each one of them !!!
See my shots with 1,000+ faves, in Explore, my 3 best or "On the road" (with 4.700.000 views / top 10 Flickr 2016).
There is a palpable energy to a tightly packed herd like this that comes through even in a still image, without the movements and the grunts. Unlike flamingos or whales, wildebeests don't stink, so the experience is limited to only two senses, sight and sound.
Still shot extracted from 4K video, SONY RX10M3. Nominal sharpness applied, corresponding to about the 50% level in LightRoom.
I am very impressed by the sharpness of the still frame out of a video sequence, this is amazing! There are low end DSLRs that don't have this image quality for still photos. See the B&W version of this below to see the micro contrast.

It's that time of year again!

Brambling, Fringilla montifringilla, järripeippo, Finland.
A rather common bird in Finland but breeding is restricted to the northern parts of our country so I usually see them on migration only. Their plumage vary quite a bit but the orange and black colors always create an elegant appearance.
This indivudual was feeding on the last sunflower seeds before continuing its autumn journey towards Central Europe.

Explorer / Scout - somehow I went 3 years without an image in Explorer, and now 7 since July 2016... Anyone else have a weird change in that? I wonder if the 'rules' were changed...
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.
The entire time we were at Kohler Andrae State Park during our hike, there were cormorants migrating north along Lake Michigan. They use the lake as a migration highway and we would see a few of them here and there, then long streams of them. They were quite the site!

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.
Warbler mania continues in southern Ohio... the wether is predicted to improve so any day now we will be reduced to the species nesting around us (yellow, hooded, Kentucky, yellow-throated, yellow-rumped and cerulean).
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.

Days are getting shorter, almost no sun when work is over so this week brough my personal laptop on the road, spending nights fooling around LR and PS. Still trying to find some usage to TK Panel
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?
