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.

Quoting Wikipedia in part: "The area was originally settled in 1792 as part of the historic Glengarry County in which many Scottish emigrants settled from all over the Scottish Highlands due to the Highland Clearances.
This first wave of heavy migration lasted till 1816, emigration still continued afterwards into the early 20th century but in a slower pace. Many of these migrants came from the Inverness-shire area of Scotland specifically."

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.
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.
One of the most amazing nature sights we have ever seen - and we've been privileged to have seen a fair few. This zebra migration is supposedly the second biggest animal migration on the planet - behind the famous wildebeest move from the Serengeti.
Quivira National Wildlife Refuge 11/6/2021 A well known stop in central Kansas for migrating birds of all kinds.
Mostly geese here, mainly: white fronted, snow, Ross's, and Canada geese. With a few ducks scattered about and what have you.
Photos seldom do this massive, seemingly chaotic lift-off justice. Typically they aren't leaving the refuge but just repositioning themselves on the water. They can fly horizontally back and forth great distances (often in opposing directions) before settling down in a new spot. One really needs to see it in person to grasp the magnitude. You don't forget all the varied sounds (both the bird's voices and their wings) mingling into one sound.
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?

Hummingbird hawk-moths are known for their distinctive, hummingbird-like appearance and behavior. They have a greyish-brown body and forewings, with bright orange hindwings and a black and white "tail". They fly rapidly and can hover in place while feeding on nectar from flowers, using their long proboscis. Their wings beat so fast they create a buzzing sound.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.
This i take on my property ,they look for place to sleep-over .
.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.

I have already posted several pictures of the Semipalmated Sandpipers I captured in Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia. These images were taken in the Bay of Fundy at Johnson's Mills, New Brunswick where I headed after Sackville, only a 30 minute drive. This is where you will find the greatest numbers of these shorebirds during their migration between mid-July to mid-August. I spent two days observing them and this is the biggest flock for me which was approximately 45,000. Much greater than in Grand Pré. In this case, the Peregrine Falcon flew over the flock at rest on the beach and picked one up. Needless to say the entire flock took off..... the view and sound cannot be described, just spectacular.
This photo was early morning and before entering the area I looked for signs to make sure I could go in and I was able to. I didn't realize it was an entrance to a hunting grounds which was down the road. This group heard the gun shots and in seconds took to the sky
An Eastern Towhee missed the call to fly South is attempting to over Winter here. She appears to be adapting.
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).
