Wood Duck and more snow geese
Someone get me out of the Wildlife Reserves - I can't stop myself! But this little duck was soooooo pretty and the snow geese so bountiful!
So, now it has started a week of rain and very cold weather. I think maybe these beautiful flying creatures will migrate further south, allowing me to concentrate on other things in life. 
And I couldn't crop any of these guys out of the picture.

Great captures. I've seen the Snow Geese take off like this , all at once. It amazes me, 100's of geese and no mid flight collisions. (unlike the freeways
)

Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity!
I can see why you keep going back!
Love # 1, 3, and 4.

Oh wow! Fantastic!!
I just found out that my "wood duck" is really a Northern Pintail Drake. He is still my favorite little duck!
And thanks Phil, Denise and Taz for your kind comments.

Such a shame you couldn't capture at least one BIF
Wonderful captures. Great to see so many snowgeese. They are very seldom in Denmark.
1 - very nice - great job!

What a great set Jo! I'm going to try and get to the Alaska Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary this summer.although I don't think I will see this many birds!
Thanks Joyce. I envy you being in Alaska - wildlife and beautiful landscapes abound!

Thanks Toiny. I don't believe I saw a Ross's. But then there are so many rafted together, it's hard to differentiate. I'll have to pay more attention next time and try to pick out the different types!

Thanks Andy! And they are still hanging out at the Merced Wildlife Reserve - getting ready to migrate north again.
