Including my last post on Snow Geese, I was lucky to come upon quite a few Snow Geese flocks this past winter.  Some were at a great distance, just a big white-out in a field. The flocks travel around the same regions all winter, but to know where they are any given day is a guess. I know now some excellent county back roads crossing vast farm fields where there’s always a chance of a sighting.

I photographed another huge flock at a distant, this one was in late January.  A flock of Canada Geese were in the back with a few in the front mix.

All nice and quiet, a cackle here and there….

Certainly no hoop-la.  I got in my car to prepare to leave.

Suddenly something sent the flock in the air!  I had to scramble for my camera and jump back out of the car!

A big circle around, and they returned to land.

As always, the sight and sound was amazing!  I just stood there and watched them settle right back down and grow quiet again.

I’ll finish with another flock a week later, video-taped with my cell phone.  Turn up your sound for full effect!

I hope you’ve personally had an opportunity to see and hear a Snow Goose lift-off, it is truly memorable!
