“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: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/14/snow-geese-in-formation/

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. https://catalog.ontarionature.org/winter-2024/page/18-19 [digital PDF]

“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.”

Masayoshi Fujita Embraces Melodic Calm on 'Migratory'
The first album he made in his homeland is titled Bird Ambience (2021). He now returns with Migratory, inspired by an image of migratory birds hearing music from the land underneath.
“These ideas and images were inspired by my experiences living abroad and returning to my homeland,” explains Fujita.

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.
