Canada Geese – A Reflective Landing
I captured this series one morning a few months ago. A pair of Canada Geese had dropped down from the sky and proceeded to fly up the creek towards me…..and where the water was mirror-glass smooth.

Still incoming…..
Now ‘skidding’ on the water top to slow down
Still skidding…..
Then a splash when they put their bodies down into the water.

Canada Geese mate for life with very low “divorce rates,” and pairs remain together throughout the year.
Nice Donna! Love the reflections!!
Thank you, Reed!
beautiful!
Thank you!
They’re waterskiing! I love the reflections and the shots taken in sequence with a great viewpoint. Nice job!.
Thank you, Jane! They do look like they are waterskiing, lol. 🙂
Perfect touch down! Great photos, Donna! Having water as a background works pretty well for shots like these. 🙂
Thank you! Seeing them coming, I was hoping they’d wait til the water was glassy, I got lucky! 🙂
they do that so well! nice shots.
Thank you!
Superb reflections, Donna! 🙂
Thank you, Tom! 🙂
Beautiful 💕 Each capture is stunning 👍
Thank you, Denise! 🙂
Donna, this series is so beautiful! Being an airliner nut I see in your photos how we learnt to fly. The bird wingtips even have Winglets! 😍😎
Thank you, John! Oh my, I call them flaps, so you can tell I know nothing about planes, lol. 🙂
Love them all Donna… but especially the 3rd shot where the goose on the right is almost certainly calculating “flare now”!!, “flare”!!! 😀
Thank you, Steve! Big birds really do show ‘all it takes’ to land! 🙂
Skidding on surface tension. Those are awesome shots. Geese tickle the hell out of me.
Thank you, Vic! Yes, they can be quite funny! 🙂
Utter perfection.
Thank you, Cindy!
WOW! Dear Donna these are great photographs, fascinated me. Thank you, Love, nia
Thank you, Nia! 🙂
They always look like they’re water-skiing as they come in for a landing. It actually looks like a lot of fun!
I think so too, wish I could do it! Though that’d be a hilarious time for sure. 😂
Beautiful Donna, I love bird reflection pics!
Thank you, Ashley, me too!
Amazing captures! Well done, indeed. ❤️
Thank you, Irene! I’m glad I saw them coming! 😊

Thank you, Suzanne!
Quite remarkable! Beautiful!
Thank you!
Terrific timing in these shots, Donna!!
Thank you, Indira! I saw them coming and got ready…..with bated breath!
As always, your photos had me holding my iPad out to show Paul with words like, “wow”, and “amazing”. Absolutely perfect reflections!
Thank you, Chris! It was definitely a ‘right place right time’ moment for me!
A pair of very reflective geese, Donna. They are far ahead of many humans!
Thank you, Tanja, how true!
Nice action series, Donna! I love to watch the big birds land.
Thank you, Ellen!
Beautiful photos Donna!
Thank you, Belinda!
Wow, wow, and triple wow! Absolutely fantastic images, Donna.
(Sorry for the delay, I’ve been away collecting some pics of my own 😉).
Thank you, Mike! I am always behind, no worries!! 🙂
Awesome photos Donna! That water is definitely like glass and you got some beautiful perfect reflections in your shots.
Thank you, Sue! When the water is like that, I like watch for something to fly over it for a reflection. Feels good when it happens AND I didn’t mess up my focus and lighting. 😊
