The waterfowl are in full migration mode now.
Murray Marsh Alberta. Finally the sun came out this afternoon😊😊
Close shot of this lovely bird, Had to crop from bottom left of image to get rid of the unsightly mass of old wire that affected a small area of the stream bankside.
I love capturing birds in their habitat. I think I prefer it than a close-up when the surrounding is suitable. This Palm Warbler looked really good in that tree with all the new buds. It sure feels like spring.

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.

It's never hard to find these charismatic birds along the tree line given their distinctive call.

The spectacle of the annual winter migration of the Elk Herds from the Rocky Mountain Foothills towards the Ranch Country just Northwest of Calgary.
Imagine running a relay race with your great grandparents, grandparents, parents, and grandchildren.
Each winter, high in the mountains west of Mexico City, tens of millions of Monarch’s from Canada, USA, and northern South America make the up-to 3,000 mile flight to this one spot on earth. Since Monarch’s live as little as 2 - 6 weeks, each generation has never made their contribution to the circle in their life. How do they know where to go?
Although locals would have known for ages of their annual arrival, the location wasn’t documented until 1975. It’s unfathomable the effort it would have taken to track their overwintering spot, as even today with horses it was challenging to reach 11,200 feet.
Kudos to the villagers of Angangueo, who realized their gift from the Gods and stopped mineral mining and tree removal in favour of ecotourism and silviculture. The result, a year-round, sustainable livelihood for people, and a welcoming habitat for these valuable, brave pollinators.

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.
So many people were walking on the Shinsaibashi Street, Osaka, Japan.
Don’t know where they come from and where they go. But I felt like they all had a same goal and moving together.

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.
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?
One has to see the phenomenon called "migration" to believe it. This year round activity that involves wildebeest, zebras and gazelles is so enormous - There are no words that can describe it. One can see herd of animals from miles away because of the dust cloud it generates. When you are surrounded by so many animals and so much action, as a photographer you are unable to decide what to capture.
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.

The ridiculously warm weather has these guys migrating to their breeding pools already. In fact, I think some of them actually were out last week back in February! Spent some time with volunteers last night helping these guys across the road in the Skaneateles Conservation Area.

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!
