    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!"

    Hey Ric.. The baby Geese down here are almost grown. I've only seen one pair with little ones and they had five and they are already huge, just ready to get their real colors. It's odd the difference in areas and breeding times.

    Awesome images of the Canada geese! I like the horizontal crop of the first image. Love the hummer and the robin too!

    Excellent set of shots. The second and third goose shots are really nice. The needles and buds on the tree give perspective to the size of the hummer thumb.gif .
