Re: Arctic Birds on Migration: Saskatchewan

Paul Heymont ·
Thank you not only for massively multiplying my knowledge of these birds, but also for the beautiful pictures of masses of the birds in flight...the patterns they form are fantastic!

Re: Arctic Birds on Migration: Saskatchewan

DrFumblefinger ·
I know how much U love birds, birding and nature, Tom, and you've give all of us who are even vaguely interested a reason to head up to Saskatoon. Of the many great birds you document, the one that has fascinated me the most is the whooping crane. Standing almost as tall as a man, it was at one time even closer to extinction than the California Condor. I'm far more optimistic about the Whooping Crane's survival than the Condors, and I really would love to see one of these in the wild.

Re: Arctic Birds on Migration: Saskatchewan

My Thatched Hut ·
All of these birds pass through Saskatoon during October. The Whooping cranes fly from the Northwest Territories in two or three days flying time and then stop for a couple of weeks near Saskatoon before flying on to Texas. I have been to their breeding grounds in the north and their wintering grounds in Texas so I have seen about 30 or so of them. They don't migrate in large groups like geese. They travel in family groups so five or six of them will arrive at a time. Some will reach Texas...

Re: Oct. 30, 2017: Wild Peacocks, Yala National Park

Amateuremigrant ·
It's also the national bird of India, although I don't quite understand why - the gift of a peacock feather is a harbinger of ill omen ! In N Indian villages, ironically, this beautiful bird is most often spied on a midden or dungheap - in search of grubs and beetles.

Oh my goodness...I would be proud to capture even one of these photos and you captured the kingfishers so many times!! My favorite is the kingfisher shaking the fish and the water spraying out; what a fantastic collection of photos!

Agree with Garry and Marilyn. A wonderful collection of photos and the ones of the kingfishers bashing the fish against a branch are among my favorites as well!

For me, the most startling image is the owl in flight. I've only ever seen owls perched and looking like, well, our image of owls. In flight, what a difference! Thanks!
