These visitors stay for a week or so, then they are gone. Today I got to see them "flying in" as they drop down from the sky into their resting place in the bay. It was pretty awsome.............and loud! :D

Can you spot Waldo in the last pic? He is wearing a yellow neck collar.

Have you thought of printing wallpaper with that last one? Oh, and he's left of centre.

Thanks for the compliments. The geese are still here, I can hear them out back of my work and hoping to try and get some other shots of them.

I am thinking of getting a large print of the last one, at full resolution there is a lot of detail in each bird.

Super series, I love the Snow Geese and look forward to their return every winter! That last pic is just fabulous, did you happen to notice if an eagle was harassing the flock? The sound of the geese take off is just deafening but sooo cool to experience.
