  2. Volunteers Urged to Join Toad Migration Effort

    #Volunteers needed to protect #IsleOfWight’s #toad population, as a 2nd #migratory crossing site is being supported by local patrols

    Common Toads return yearly to same ancestral breeding ponds, following historic #migration routes that often lead them across roads. With slow movement and poor visibility at night, many are killed by traffic in what #conservationists are calling a growing crisis.

  3. In 1882, the French Naturalist Camille Viguier was amongst the first to propose the existence of a #magnetic sense. His speculation proved correct; many #animals – from #bats to #migratory #birds and sea #turtles use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate.

  9. “Snow Geese in Formation” — A group of snow geese in flight and lined up vertically.

    Most of these migratory birds will likely have departed from their winter homes in Central California by the time you see this photograph. They arrive in the fall, overwinter, and then depart some time in early March. Back in the pandemic year of 2020 I visited one of the places where I photograph them about one week into March, and they were still there. I went back one week later, and they had all departed. The place seemed awfully lonely!…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/14/sn

  10. “The Fly-In” — Thousands of migratory geese arrive in the wetlands at sunset.

    A day spent photographing migratory geese and other birds often includes a lot of “slow time” when little is happening. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing — sometimes the quiet and stillness is enough by itself. But around sunrise and sunset there is often a of activity as large flocks of birds take to the air and head to nighttime locations. If you are where they arrive, it is the “fly-in.” When they depart, we refer to the “fly-out.”…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/12/th

  11. “Sandhill Crane Flying Low” — A lesser sandhill crane flies low above a Central Valley field.

    I had been trying to find the right time to head to California’s Central Valley to photograph migratory birds again. I was last there around New Year’s Day, but since then various things have kept me away — mostly that the times I ‘ve been free were the times when my favorite foggy conditions were not in place. I finally gave up on waiting and went on a sunny day. After all, many of the migratory birds will only be there for a few more weeks!…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/01/sa

  12. I've been busy digging up work since opting to do freelance feature writing full-time. It's a grind but I'm enjoying it. Here's my latest published piece: "Of #bats and blades," in ON Nature magazine. Expect more attacks on #wind turbines with Trump in office. Truth is, we need them. My piece explores why turbines take a big toll on three #migratory bat species and what can be done to stop it. Focus is on Ontario, but topic relevant across North America. catalog.ontarionature.org/wint [digital PDF]

  13. @ingloriousBustards I love your words "...providing the #migratory soundtrack that fills the air !" Perfect! So true! Good Birding!

  14. The #Education for #Nature#Vietnam #ENV, one of the country’s #pioneering social organisations in #wildlife #conservation, has released a 2 minute video clip titled "Chim troi keu cuu" (wild birds cry out for help) to urge the #community to refrain from #WildBird consumption and join #protection efforts.

    The clip exposes haunting and cruel moments of the widespread destruction of the feathered animals, giving only a glimpse of the acts prevalent in many localities nationwide.

    Vietnam is among the 25 countries with the richest #diversity of wild #birds species globally. However, #poaching and #IllegalTrading pose serious threats to hundreds of #indigenous and #migratory bird species in the country. In localities such as #QuangNinh and #ThaiBinh in the north and #ThuaThien - #Hue in the central region, #poachers employ sophisticated methods including decoys and birdsong mimicking devices to lure the animals, followed by nets, traps, or guns for capture. This rampant hunting seriously jeopardises Vietnam's #biodiversity.

  17. #Molecular Characterization of Non- #H5 and Non- #H7 Avian #Influenza Viruses from Non-Mallard #Migratory #Waterbirds of the North #American #Flyways, 2006–2011, Pathogens: mdpi.com/2076-0817/13/4/333

    The most common H and N combinations were #H3N8 (23.0%), #H4N6 (18.4%), and #H4N8 (18.4%). The HA gene between non-mallard and mallard MW isolates during the same time period shared 85.5–99.5% H3 identity and 89.3–99.7% H4 identity.

  22. These #birds #travel across #continents & countries via many #international #migratory routes, in much the same way that airlines move across the world on designated routes. Three major #WildBird #MigratoryRoutes from #Asia & #Europe #transverse Nigeria. That’s good news for #biodiversity - #badnews for #disease control. #MigratoryBirds from Europe move into #Nigeria every year during the cold #harmattan season. This is the #PeakTime for #AvianFlu #outbreaks .
