Snow Geese in Flight

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.

A white morph- notice the dark wing tips
A blue morph from the rear, coming in for a landing
I was lucky to have overhead flights and fly-bys ahead of me.
Fly by.

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.
