Description

Today I saw the snow geese, by the thousands... "The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realized in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!" John Burroughs (1837 - 1921)

An impressive flock, nicely frozen in time. I always find it awe-inspiring to see massive numbers of birds flying together like this...

Wow, I'd love to see that. Thanks for sharing this glimpse of them. Without trying to count carefully, I see over 60 in this shot. Seeing thousands would be awesome.

What a wonderful capture! So graceful. (Of course Dennis counted them! I probably would have too, if he hadn't already done it, and I had more time!) :)
