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.
... igual que las aves muchas veces necesitamos cambiar de aires para mejorar nuestro situación, ya sea personal o profesional, de eso va esta imagen, de esos cambios a veces obligados por las circunstancias.

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.
Many Lesser Yellowlegs passing through on their migration; several varieties of ducks in the same marshes but they never let me get any closer.
Sandhill Crane (Juvenile).
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles are browner and have no red on head. Their plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska to the Hudson Bay and south into western Ontario. There are isolated populations in: the Rocky Mountains, the northern prairies, the Great Lakes, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida.

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.

This male was kind enough to treat us to some great looks the other morning. It appears a pair have taken up residence in a cavity occupied by Eastern Bluebirds last season. Looking forward to keeping tabs on this family.

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.
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
A few shorebird species in migration have arrived in the Ottawa area.... love capturing these little guys.
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.
We've been chasing snow geese.
This is part of a flock of snow geese that we saw in Eastern Ontario near St. Isidore.
Thousands and thousands more were in the sky in every direction.
Absolutely amazing.
2,250 kilometers, over 2,900 photos.
Anser caerulescens
Snow Geese make epic journeys by air, but they are impressive on foot, too. Within the first three weeks of hatching, goslings may walk up to 50 miles with their parents from the nest to a more suitable brood-rearing area. Molting Snow Geese can outrun many predators.
