Arctic terns chase summer from one end of the planet to the other. Every year, they migrate from their northern breeding grounds to Antarctica. A round-trip migration can be 80,000 kilometres, one of the longest journeys on Earth.
Happy #WorldMigratoryBirdDay

White-faced Ibises. These birds really seem to be expanding their range northwards. Once a rarity in far-southern Alberta, they’re now pretty common at least as far north as the Edmonton area #worldmigratorybirdday

#WorldMigratoryBirdDay 🐦
Most migratory species travel at night due to cooler air & fewer predators, relying on the moon & stars to guide them.

Light pollution is a threat to birds because artificial light disrupts navigation, drains their energy & lures them into dangerous urban environments.

Nature's been playing a flawless game of survival for millennia, but our constant industrial noise is destroying the board. Today we must fight to protect the players who are simply trying to navigate the wreckage and find their way home. #NationalChessDay #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #Rebellation

Leave, leave your well-loved nest,
Late swallow, and fly away.
Here is no rest
For hollowing heart and wearying wing…

—Edwin Muir, “The Late Swallow”

I want answers, but there are only the wild geese
Calling, high in the almost-dark, bearing south,
And me, stopped short, clutching a bag of groceries
On the doorstep of my not-quite home…

—Susan Mansfield, “Bearing South”
from THE ROOFTOP BUSKER (ASL, 2015)

Today is #WORLDMIGRATORYBIRDDAY. 🪶 Just yesterday we watched a flock of migrating Warblers working our Maple tree, including a Hooded Warbler (only my 3rd time ever seeing one). (#Audubon app photo)

Celebrating the wonderful and diverse species that migrate, in this case up and down the Mississippi Flyway.
I moved from Nottingham, England to southeast Minnesota almost 15 yrs ago and have been amazed at the wonderful sights I've been treated to.

Twice a year, millions of birds take to the skies—and their incredible migrations can even show up on weather radar.

This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, help give them a safer journey by turning off lights at night, planting native species, and paying attention to the birds passing through your backyard.

Migratory birds make incredible journeys every year, but habitat loss, pollution and climate change are pushing many into decline.

This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, meet the cities becoming safe havens: https://ow.ly/VwCu50ZW9sS
