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.

Last week I moved away from my hometown and in a couple more weeks I'll be settled into my new home in the U.K. It was a bit hard to stand in "my" field and remember all the photos and memories made there.
I wrote a blog post on why I love my town and how hard it was to say goodbye to my little corner of the world.
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.
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.
I love these little beauties so much. Usually flying a hundred miles an hour. What a bless to find one perched!

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!
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)
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.
A great final encounter before leaving the Serengeti. What a wonderful few days!
As an "isolation project", I've decided to post a new photo each day, looking back to the same day a year ago when we were on the wonderful "Great Migration" Tour in Tanzania, with Bushbaby Safaris, Kibo Guides, and Nature's Image Photography. Great to look back on these happy times!
