Taken at Fir Island, just south of Skagit Valley and Mt. Vernon area. From Jan- late Feb, thousands of Snow Geese and Swans feed here before continuing their migration.

Randy,
I bet you love that VR. This shot probably would have been not possible without it. I do feel like I would like to see more of the flock in the sky. Maybe less of a foacl length would have accomplished it. IMHO!

Nice shot! I can hear all the noise they're making!

Randy,
I like your shot because I can put myself at the edge of the field watching and listening. I never get tired of seeing these huge flocks, and I think I may have taken a few frames nearly identical to yours tho never seen them with a sky this blue.
