These pictures were taken on the same day as my other post on snow geese. It was a dark, windy, dreary day. I felt fortunate though to see them in flight.
I saw them arrive to the park from a distance. I walked closer to where they landed. After a while smaller groups among them took flight again above the park. It was like they were exercising, or possibly getting ready for another long flight.
They did several circles around the park before they landed again. Lucky for me they flew overhead.
Flaps down, floating in for a landing.
Not sure how they avoid landing on another bird from the flock. Add into the conditions that it was a very windy day and it seems like a difficult task.
Despite the weather and dark skies, great things can be seen! Walking outside is a great stress reliever. Seeing wildlife makes it more so.

They are just gorgeous! I saw a large low flying flock of geese the other day, loud and very large! I’m such a nerd I felt like I had received a wonderfully fun gift and it made me so happy 😊

I have video on my phone of them coming in, I tried tying it into my post from yesterday. It looked like it was on my post on the phone, but not the computer. In the end it was not there. Yes these large flocks are so cool to see flying overhead. It made my day.

I love watching these guys landing and taking off. Like a giant aircraft on final approach. Great captures Sharon. Allan

Thanks! I think plane designers looked at geese and ducks when they tried to figure out building planes and landing. They are so cool to watch flying by and landing.

It’s fascinating to watch these birds land in water! Wings and feet get set for final approach and landing. It’s all too cool.

Winter is full of grey and overcast days. At least one can clearly see the birds, although “white on white” might be considered a bit of a minimalist approach. SMILE…..

It is! We were lucky. We don’t get this one in large groups hanging out here. It was probably due to the warm weather.
