My next few posts will be “for the birds” since I’m alternating between some images from Florida at the end of March and a recent trip to witness the snow goose migration. Montana is home to one of the great bird migrations each spring as thousands of snow geese come through on their way to the artic. The day before I arrived, approximately 88,000 snow geese were present. The day I was there I witnessed as about 40,000 snow geese took flight in the evening to continue their journey north. By sunset the lake was quiet and the next morning only about 6,500 snow geese were left. The action was hard to photograph because trying to get an image that wasn’t complete chaos was difficult. In this scene, I was able to use the lake and geese on the bottom to anchor the action as hundreds of geese came in to land.
