These are the grassland birds of the great plains. Migrate from Siberia to Northern Mexico but have their main migratory path north-south over the high plains aquifer... constrained by the Rocky Mountains in the same way as the aquifer. Sand Hill Cranes on Crane Trust property and on farmland in the area. 500,000 come thru there and the migration is kinda like an hourglass… The migration fans out and then hits the choke point of the hourglass at Kearney on the Platte River and then the migration fans out again when they leave.

Soft corals called sea pens, usually found at depth, and a blue cod appear in shallow waters in Long Sound reserve, where tannin-stained surface water blocks sunlight. Fragile marine ecosystems such as this are thriving in New Zealand due to federal protection. This picture was made at a depth of 23-meters, where no ambient light exists and deep-water animals (like sea pens) are tricked into emerging into shallower depths. © copyright Brian Skerry

Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris) in the waters off Oahu, Hawaii. These dolphins forage at night in the deep water offshore, then come into shallow bays in the early morning to socialize and rest. This species of dolphin is known for their spinning behavior, where they leap out of the water, spinning and turning. Although researchers are not certain why they do this, a leading theory is to dislodge remoras and for communication. © copyright Brian Skerry

Leopard Seal (Huge Female), 12 feet plus in length and must be well over a thousand pounds, killed a chick and then donated it to the camera. This is the first day that many of the chicks are heading to sea for the first time and it is easy picking for the leopard seals. © Paul Nicklen
