The right place at the right time. Olympus e-510

That is a lot of birds, holy Hell. There must be a thousand at least!

And that was maybe one third if the total that day in that field

That is really neat. Lucky man.
Just glad you could get the right shot off before they all left.

Michael, a :hug:: for you for being back here. I missed you a lot!
Super photos, I do like the second so much - so much detail, all the different stages of taking off in the geese to be studied! One more because you are back, I really (!) missed you :hugs:!

Oh wow, what a lucky shot! Do they gather in that spot every year?

Well Thank you... I have been a tad busy of late working on a large project. I am now enjoying that holiday breathing room that Christmas affords. I am itching to get out and shoot but all it does lately is rain.

Serenity...Yes they do stop in at this spot every year. it is a bird sanctuary south of Vancouver. However, I knew nothing about any of that when I took these shots. I was just out driving around with the camera and I guess I just turned onto the right road

 

[bhop]

Great shot. I wish I could find myself in these situations.

 

[The King of Suffolk]
