I continue to cull and sort the photos I have taken on my 18 visits to Bosque del Apache NWR. The previous post illustrated the early morning blast-off of snow geese. During the day, their main activities seem to be feeding and resting. After the early morning blast-off, the birds move to their feeding grounds splitting into smaller, but still sizable, gaggles. The photographer still has an opportunity to capture a snow geese blast-off. As illustrated in the first two images, at, for me, unpredictable times, the feeding birds will suddenly all take flight. As illustrated by the third image, when the birds return to the pool of water where they spend the night, there is another opportunity to photograph the skein. The remainder of the images in this post are my favorite shots of a single snow goose in flight.
