The snow geese are in residence!
We took the grandkids out for a walk and watched where the geese flew.
We walked towards the sound and found them all in gathered on the playing field at a local school. There were hundreds.
When we walked toward the flocks, the birds would move away to maintain a safe distance.
Their strut is quite funny to watch.
Snow geese arrive here in late fall every year on their annual migration from the high Arctic to the southwestern U.S. This is just a fraction of their numbers and, as you can imagine, not everyone is filled with joy to see them. But when the air is filled with the sound of their cries, it's hard to resist the lure to follow and visit with them.
Wow! Very cool. Love the picture of the kids "parting the sea".
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of geese. Love the strut.
ReplyDeleteSo that's what a 'GOOSE STEP' is!!! Great photos & I would think an amazing sound - love the flying one.
ReplyDeleteThe geese in flight and in full march are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I loved this nature lesson. Don't think I've ever seen snow geese here in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI love the in-flight picture, great capture.
What a MARVELOUS photo series of BIRDS ... and I love the house on the rocky point in the previous post too!
