Witnessing the Monarch Butterfly migration in my South Texas yard this November was truly magical! These beautiful creatures seemed to love the tiny pastel purple flowers that were growing wild on our property.
I can count on one hand how many times I have seen this in my life. It was well worth the short trip to Mitchell's Bay today!

It is Autumn migration time now, and this 4 inch bird will travel alone to southern Mexico to northern Panama...They beat their wings about 50 times/second and can travel the entire Gulf of Mexico in a night (about 500 miles). I took this shortly before she left...Safe journey, and hope to see you next year!
Pleased to see this Harris's Sparrow today, a lifer for me! And thanks to the experienced birder there that helped with the ID! Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
Wildebeest and zebras assemble on the savanna for their migration from Kenya's Maasai Mara to Tanzania's Serengeti.
2024 Fall Migration
Cape May, Bay Breasted, Chestnut-sided and Blackburnian Warblers.
Always fun to capture the warblers in both spring and fall seasons but always a challenge to have a clear shot.. I have decided to present them in a collage instead of individuals.
Preparado para viajar al lejano norte, con el plumaje mas bonito y cargado de energía para la dura mgración. Correlimos zarapitín ( Calidris ferruginea) , Desembocadura del río Guadalquivir, entorno del Espacio Natural Doñana
Ready to travel to the far north, with the most beautiful plumage and full of energy for the hard migration. Curlew sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea), mouth of the Guadalquivir river, surroundings of the Doñana Natural Area
First it isn't a great photo, far from it. The moment has to top the technique. I would never have guessed that I'd top yesterday's two similar warbler species together. After a bit of photo editing I looked out the window to this scene. The camera was close by and the 'group photo' only lasted for three frames. This was the first frame and they started to disburse.
I count a House sparrow, Baltimore oriole, Rose-breasted grosbeak, and five Cedar waxwings. I did relocate to the patio for an unobstructed view but only a waxwing reappeared and never went to the water. Who among us is willing to criticize diversity?
Nosedive by a Humpback Whale near Perth, Western Australia during their annual migration.
Humpbacks have a wide geographic range and are found in all the world’s oceans. During summer months, populations in the southern hemisphere spend their time in Antarctica feeding. In late autumn they begin an annual migratory route to their winter breeding and calving grounds in the warmer tropical waters of the Pacific. They return south in spring.
Humpback whales migrate around 5000 km on average, one of the longest migratory journeys of any mammal on Earth.
I was looking through my photos taken during my only trip to the Yucatan Peninsula and was inspired to create this image. It was such a good trip! The central feature of the original photo was a Mayan pyramid. The background of this image is a foggy marsh.
Photoleap was used to create this image.

The spectacle of Spring shorebird migration on the U.S. Washington state coast is well underway. An experience not to be missed.
In the foreground is a group of Dunlin which numbered in the many thousands, the rusty/rufous bird in the middle back is a Dowitcher and a Black-bellied plover in breeding plumage on the far right.
As we drove through the Mara we reached a crossing on the Mara River where the Wildebeest and the Zebra had gathered. Soon there was absolute chaos as the animals began to cross the river! The ran over to the other side and they galloped along as if performing a victory dance! As I photographed them they looked at me with great curiosity. Herbivores dotted the landscape as far as the eye could see!

Warbler Migration 2017
I could never do a warbler migration series without including this favorite of mine. Our north FL area is part of their year-round and breeding range. I love hearing their sweet song and watching them flutter though the Spanish Moss in search of insects. During migration they join in with warbler flocks and are far more visible....even coming to our feeder until the regulars like the Cardinals chase them off.
Multi-exposure on film.
