Middle Creek Sunrise: Canon 40D 28-135mm
Waterfowl leaving lake to feed: Canon 40D 70-200mmF2.8
Snow Geese circling over feeding area: Canon 40D 300mmF4
Snow Goose Landing: Canon 40-D: 500mmF4In spite of a mostly overcast sky, there was a colorful sunrise. At sunrise many of the waterfowl left the lake to feed in the surrounding field. For a time we had few good photo opportunities, but finally the sun broke through the overcast for good and we were treated to that bright, yet milky sunlight that often precedes the arrival of a storm front. This type of light is a result of the sunlight being filtered by a high thin clouds although sometime areas of the sky were a beautiful blue.
In late morning we found the geese converging on the corn field shown in the previous post. They came by the thousands, circled over the area, and then swooped in for the landing in the corn, where they fed on what grain that still remained.

I especially like the one of the circling geese. There's so much detail, and they seem like they're glowing. Guess its the sun filtering through their feathers.
More cool Goose images.
I love the geese flying with the glow of the sunset. Very nice.
I have never seen a snow goose before. Now I feel I know them well. These are wonderful.
The snow geese are incredible and your photos are stunning. You have captured them well!!
