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?

This i take on my property ,they look for place to sleep-over .
A peak into this hermit warbler's winter migration was an unexpected treat. This is the first I've seen of one in the coastal lowlands and not higher up near the crest where they are normally seen in the summer breeding months.

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, (*_*)

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).
The Blackpoll Warbler signals and end to migration as they move through. I can't believe how fast time goes......
Spring migration is officially underway in the Driftless Region today as waterfowl are returning to Cardinal Marsh. The marsh is still frozen solid but that doesn't keep ducks, geese and swans from landing on the ice. Trumpeter swans nest here in the summer.
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.

With the last three days of cold showery weather it brought down lots of migrating geese in our area. Sturgeon County Alberta
The spectacle of the annual winter migration of the Elk Herds from the Rocky Mountain Foothills towards the Ranch Country just Northwest of Calgary.
It was so exciting to come upon these migrating shorebirds! I walked along the stony beach for some time before realizing there was movement on the ground and then discovered dozens of these sweet plovers scurrying busily amongst the kelp.

I've learned a bit more about my graphics program and was able to tweak the contrast more to my liking on this image. One of my fav monarch shots over the years. I'm saddened by the losses in the monarch population (and other less beloved species) and hope we can work toward restoring habitat and reducing the effects of pesticides and climate change.
