Sandhill Cranes gathering in Palmer, Alaska; migrating South. What a gorgeous sight. I am always thrilled to witness migration. Deeply moved, actually. The Canada geese, gathering in the next month here in Anchorage, practicing formations and eating all they can; until one day (most likely in October) they all swirl up, higher and higher, and you see them leave in the thousands, sailing over the mountains on the East side of the city. I hope I am free to watch the big day.
I loved reading Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. Monarch Butterfly migration at the center of that story.
