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.
Inspired by a gorgeous image from Fort Photo Night-gration.
Last week we had this beautiful sky at dusk.. and I had previously gotten a shot of migrating geese, but the sky was rather bland and lifeless behind the geese. I took the two shots and combined them into this composite. I hope you like it.
I'm sure you've noticed I'm framing my photos recently.. Unfortunately I've found it necessary to somehow identify my own photos, there are a few people here on Flickr that have been copying others images and claiming them as there own.

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.
What a thrill to see a migration in Serengeti! Thousands of wildebeast and zebra crossing the river at the same time, the sounds and site was magnificent!

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!
I was standing high on a hill over looking the Copper River, when the spring migration was taking place. The caribou gingerly picked their way across the swiftly flowing river, swimming through the deepest parts when needed, and following in the steps of their leader. Some needed a little encouragement, but eventually overcame their fear and followed along. Since few travelers get to see the migrations - I thought I'd share this photo.

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
The annual snow geese migration is really something to see......This image was taken with a Nikon 300/2.8 lens + a Nikon TC-20E III. No cropping. All things considered I find the Nikon TC-20E-III a very good performer. Just my observations
This Sparrow has stopped here on its yearly migration back to the Northern tundra. I had never seen one before and had to look it up in the Audubon birds of North America book. (also known as the Winter Sparrow)
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.
Just as the Peninsula Point lighthouse guided ships on Lake Michigan, the Stonington Peninsula guides monarch butterflies as they begin their 1,900-mile migration south to their wintering grounds in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico,” reads a sign that greets visitors. “In the fall, thousands of monarchs can be seen here, waiting for favorable conditions before they cross Lake Michigan.”
Peninsula Point location in Delta County“Peninsula Point is one of only a very few places in North America where monarchs can be viewed migrating in great numbers,
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?
