“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

“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.

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]

Masayoshi Fujita - Migratory Stories (Part 1)

Masayoshi Fujita - #Migratory

“These ideas and images were inspired by my experiences living abroad and returning to my homeland. As well as by the artists featured on this album who also somehow traveled or lived in other countries across the boundaries, and being influenced by the music of other lands but at the same time somehow led to their roots.”
