There's a large flock of canada geese roosting in a turned over corn field feeding on the leftovers, after they stuff themselves they fly down to the river to wash up, here's a few of them coming in.
These are all captured with the Canon 1DMK3 and 400 5.6

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Those feet are hilarious. Also, I knew geese had small heads but geeze, #5 really shows how small they are in relation to the rest of 'em!

    Great set. :D
