Time to put a hat on?
Two hundred thousand geese not in my picture but in my stitched pano who knows Canada and Snow geese spooked by two eagles. Quivera Kansas.

Minus 10 degrees plus same again wind chill :eek:

Canon 1D3 Canon 800mm EF f/5.6 1/1250 sec at F/8.0 ISO 200

Critique and advice always welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Barry :wink:

200k Canada’s/Snowies that would have to be one big hat. Must have been one memorable moment for you.

Now this would make one 500+ puzzle.

Quivera wardens best guess was 250,000 I was being conservative with my estimate. The noise they made when spooked was indeed another memorable factor.
