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?
After hours of nervous anticipation, a few hundred Wildebeest and Zebra cross the Mara River for greener pastures, all while trying to avoid the Nile Crocodiles and lions that lurked in the shallows.
As if crossing the wild Mara river wasn't enough of a challenge, as the herd collected on the opposite shore they were stopped in their tracks by a lone Hyena. The look on their faces as they stood frozen without any idea what to do next really grabbed me.
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!
For those of you who think migration is over, it isn't. We're in the driveway waving goodbye, but the car is still in sight.

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.
We saw thousands of Sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) feeding in fields of grasses and then off to the last bit of corn stubble and insects before the evening's rest. We were invited onto benches on some private land that provided crane flyovers in the afternoon sun.
According to information at the Rowe Sanctuary Audobon Center, 80% of the Sandhill cranes of North America spend time in South Central Nebraska during the spring migration. The braided Platte River has provided a safe space for them to court, store up energy, and collect before their flight to Northern Canada and the Artic for the summer.
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!

This is the largest flock of white-faced ibis I have ever seen. Thousands were feeding in fields flooded by snow-melt near Ovid, Idaho, and this was just a small part of the flock. When they took off, they all went at once, sort of like the massive flocks of snow geese in California. But, unlike the geese, they were nearly silent.
Multi-exposure on film.

Nice light on this mornings walk with the dog. I caught this flock heading south over the salt marshes on edge of Morecambe Bay. A simple scene that seemed special.
Today we drove around and around downtown getting pictures of these birds. There were hundreds or even thousands of them, just flying and landing over and over.

Baie-du-Febvre, located on the southern shore of Lac Saint-Pierre (a UNESCO biosphere reserve), is well known as a haven for migrating snow geese. Many birdwatching enthusiasts congregate there in spring and fall to observe them. The town takes great pride in this aspect of its natural heritage, and has established an interpretation centre to teach visitors about the geese, their migration and the local biosphere.

Thank for your visit, fave and comment, always appreciated!

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.
while it's pretty cool being in the midst of the Monarch migration photo's don't really do it justice.....i spent more time in the goldenrods chasing the individuals while at Wendy Park on Monday
The Serengeti wildebeest migration is Africa’s great migration and happens every year where by large numbers of wildebeests (over 2 million) and other animals like the grant’s gazelles, impalas, zebras (over 200,000) elands, and Thomson’s gazelles migrate from the Serengeti plains in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. They move clockwise over 1,800 miles annually. They mainly migrate in search for better water quality and new grazing grasslands.
