Canada Geese
Captured these two yesterday, north of Deckers, having fun on the South Platte River near the Willow Creek Picnic Area. More can be viewed here.

James,
These were one of two pair my wife and I observed floating down the river. These two were on an island upstream from the picnic area before they decided to come downstream. I got as close to the bank, without sinking knee deep in a bog, as possible as they drifted toward the bank where I was waiting. Once there, they put on quite a show for about five minutes; cleaning, preening, etc. before heading downstream again.
I was having too much fun myself that I threw all compostion and exposure rules "out-the window". :biggrin: I would have given anything to have my non-IS 70-200 f/4L turn into an IS version. :smile:
