They pass my way during their migration from the southern US coasts up to their nesting areas near the arctic ocean.

The 747 of birds. Nice shots. They stop off here for a few weeks during fall migration, to tank up for the rest of the voyage. I never get over how big they are, like the pictures of the Spruce Goose trying to take off. I have seen them actually jump off the ice to snatch at an eagle when it came too close. :)

Thanks... Yes that's ice. Our large lakes haven't completely thawed yet. It will take another couple of weeks or so.
