Wow! I was on my way to photograph a barn I had spotted for my 365 Project, and took a longcut to take a peek at a new road. When I came up over the hill I saw this....
Being that I am a microbiologist and some days count dots for hours at a time, I am pretty good at estimating the number of dots I see. There were at least 500 Canada Geese flying in the field and a lot more on the ground. I wish I had a wide angle to fit them all in. The noise was incredible!! I spent about 10 minutes shooting in beautiful orange/pink but fading light. I pulled out a few of the better ones for this post.
Wings set and coming in.
On the wing.
I have some solo shots of the pair top left, but nothing but an orange backdrop (kinda look lost).
At this point, most of the birds were on the ground. It took them about 10 minutes to get their OK for landing and come in. That was a fun shoot.
Sharing with ... This or That Thursday!
