Bird Watching: "On the Waterfront" - Part 3, 1 by linthicum

The curtain has dropped, i.e. a curtain of Snow Geese. Yesterday, I took a trip to the eastern shore of Maryland. Despite a nice sunny day, my hands and face felt like they were frozen. Still a little too windy and cold for me. I was there about 7 hours and just couldn't pull myself away from the Snow Geese, thousands of them. I have no idea how they can find their mate but they apparently do. The scene of them rising from the water or ground is just breathtaking. Although I have witnessed the scene often, I am constantly in awe.

I took over a thousand photos, many of the same setting, so it will take me a while to sort through them. I am constantly looking for neck collars on the Snow Geese but I didn't see one. Maybe I will find one in the photos as I go through them.

This is one that would make a good jig-saw puzzle, or a shower curtain.
