Out looking for birds to photograph today, the first break in several weeks of rain, and ran across this small flock at Stiegerwald NWR in Washougal, WA. Mt. Hood in the background.

Thanks irishman - one thing we have plenty of is Canada geese. Wonderful to see and hear when they congregate in this quantity.

I'm going to have to get out of the house more. That's more birds than I typically see in a month. And,... I wish we had that much snow down here. Mt. Hood is spectacular.

I believe the term they use here is that 'the mountains are out'. Love Mt. Hood - it mesmerizes easily. And I also like that they keep the snow up there were people can play and not down here where we work.;)

Jon - thanks for the comments, it is a beautiful mountain. And that shot of the birds was but a very small gathering I could get with 200mm. If I had the 16mm on I think I could still have filled the frame.

And they are big, noisy birds. The visual is amazing but the sound is incredible.
