I'd really hate to be standing on the shore if they all decided to take flight and depart in my direction :oops:

I can't tell whether these are Ross Geese or Snow Geese at this resolution.

Thanks Alan There were lots of Ross and Snow Geese on the reserve, and several other small (Light) geese.
Below is a photo my wife took, showing a different goose in the middle of some snow geese.
I have lots of individual goose images I have never processed that might make a nice wings Wednesday show! ;)

Thank you for your identifying the different geese in my photos! ;)
I looked up the Blue Goose and was surprised to it was a genetic mutant of the Snow Goose; Ross's geese can also mutate to a Blue Goose coloration, but is much less frequent that the Snow Goose; about 0.01 percent.

Hi Jim thanks for your comments, appreciated! ;)
Remember my wife is an artist and finds shots like this that I just walk by! :(
