De retour d'afrique, les grues retournent dans les pays du nord de l'europe( Urss...) et passent au dessus de ma maison dans un vacarme...

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.
Black-throated Green Warblers have been very abundant! It's wonderful to see the variety of plumages.
I had just gotten out of my car to take a photo of the hedgeapple in the next photo when I turned and saw this brilliant sundog! The sun was quite a distance to the right. Made my morning, especially with some migrating birds, likely Canada Geese but not sure as they were not in the same plane as the sundog.

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.

Today i was so lucky to see several hundred of cranes at the moors near Lake Dümmer , Lower saxony, Germany. It is difficult to get them on a photo as they fly away when you come closer than 300 meter. But sometimes they just fly over your head!
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.
A few shorebird species in migration have arrived in the Ottawa area.... love capturing these little guys.
I have already posted several pictures of the Semipalmated Sandpipers I captured in Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia. These images were taken in the Bay of Fundy at Johnson's Mills, New Brunswick where I headed after Sackville, only a 30 minute drive. This is where you will find the greatest numbers of these shorebirds during their migration between mid-July to mid-August. I spent two days observing them and this is the biggest flock for me which was approximately 45,000. Much greater than in Grand Pré. In this case, the Peregrine Falcon flew over the flock at rest on the beach and picked one up. Needless to say the entire flock took off..... the view and sound cannot be described, just spectacular.
We had a pair of Nashville warblers (Leiothlypis ruficapilla) stop by the pond's stream for a bath and drink on their way north.We haven't seen any other migrants but the oranges and hummingbird feeders need to go up.We're hoping for a colorful spring.
What a wonderful capture of a bird who doesn't stay around here long. I hope to see them again on the next trip around.
Incredible to see hundreds of birds flying in off the North Sea. The largest migration in a decade is happening currently so it's just how do you make the most of it?
This young bird flew in and landed on the first viable post it could get. I watched it for a while as it rested and then finally decided to go off and hunt.
I always love spring migration, especially when a Rose-breasted Grosbeak graces our yard with his presence.
Migration Stills … HBM!
I think this week I will make HBM – Happy Bird Monday!
This is a sample of some of the birds migrating back to Iowa for the Summer.
Most were taken with my 150-600 Tamron or my Canon 70/200 w 2x multiplier.
Most likely, F5.6, at 1/1250 or 1/1600sec speed, ISO 400 to 800 max
The birds are (left to right):
Row 1 – Rose Breasted Grosbeak (m), American Goldfinch (m), Harris Sparrow, Blue Jay
Row 2 – White Breasted Nuthatch, Red-headed Woodpecker, Baltimore Oriole (m), Baltimore Oriole (f)
Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, PA
According to the "Migration Update", I took a day off and went there before sunrise, because the birds will take off around the sunrise. When they took off, and passed me over head, and that was what they were, moon and geese. This was the only one they are in the perfect position, others were in either sides of the moon.

Migration
Au grès des courants
Pour découvrir , le meilleurs temps
Les oiseaux se déplacent
En survolant de si grands espaces
Indifférent à notre présence
Ils filent vivre leur jolie romance
J' aime les observer
Avec le plus grand des respects

This grind of White Fronted Geese looked more like a swarm as they took to the air over the harvested rice fields of Butte County. Fall/Winter migration is underway along the Pacific Flyway with the White Fronted arriving in large numbers.
It is the only North American sandpiper whose breeding range extends southward into the tropics. This find this morning was a lifer for me. Isle Lake County of Parkland.

Spring
Headign to the tram home yesterday I was inspired by the flood of people into the streets just after the storm had passed. I enjoy this low dof and the sense of movement i creates. I also often contemplate the idea of being "grounded" and often when I am not I tend to look at our connection to one another and the earth we walk on a bit more...like now.
