We had some sunny weather (almost too sunny) last Saturday on a camera club field trip to one of the area wildlife refuges. I believe these were Cackling Geese, but there were true Canada Geese around as well. I happened to be near a flock that was moving around with lots of landings going on and managed a few acceptable images.

PS I’ve been keeping the burst rate on this camera set to low. For this outing I changed it to “medium” and burned through almost two full 128 GB memory cards-over 3400 images to go through! I think I’ll go back to “low”!

Well composed image with excellent light. The wing position is superb. Detail is impressive. And the background makes the image work.

Very nice, Dennis, looks like a good size flock and with that wingspan you have captured the heavy bulk of this species. Nice light on the target goose.

Excellent image and a great title for the post, Dennis. Well done.

I like how the landing goose stands out from the rest. Nice pose and light. Good job.

What a great nature story Dennis! Exposure and colors look well balanced and so is the composition!
