We are fortunate to have snow geese wintering in our area. They enjoy feeding on kernels of corn that have been left behind in harvested fields.
Snow geese in the fields …
taking to the air …
in the air …
and taking off in simultaneous flight.

Honk 🦆,,, 🙂

I have seen them. We were shooting speckle bellies & Canadian honkers in 1970
for meat and feather pillows….In 2000 I only took the Camera ❗️
I’m guessing these geese get shot at everywhere they go. I like the camera option.
I love snow Geese. We get them in Jamaica Bay.
We usually have to drive about an hour to see them, but this week, they’ve been right here in our neighborhood. I’m sure they will move on as soon as the fields are cleaned out.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and video. What a wonderful spectacle!
Thanks, Tanja! For me, it is a special treat when we get to see them.
It would be for me, too!
Magnificent photos and video. Wow!
Thanks, Timothy! I love the sound these birds make when they get stirred up and take off in unison.
Wow, so jealous 🥹
It’s a sight and sound that I look forward to each year. 🙂
How marvelous a sight (and sound) that must be. I’m envious!
It really is! Thanks, Eliza.
You are very lucky to see these snow geese Rebecca. I like the photos on the ground and in the air – there are so many of them. The sound of the geese taking off in your video must have been almost deafening to hear, but who even notices that when you are seeing so many of them. How many do you figure were in that video – not way of telling but it looked like hundreds of them!
Very lucky indeed. I can’t even imagine the number, but yes, I would say hundreds. The sound of the geese when they take off is my favorite part. I love to hear that sound.
The whir of wings when they take off – just amazing. Hundreds … I can’t imagine. I know it is fun to see the Canada Geese take off all at once and that is just a drop in the bucket next to what you see here.
Brilliant
Thank you. Such beautiful birds!
Beautifully done Rebecca!
Thanks, Wayne.
fantastic to see.
Thanks, Andy. They make an impression.
So beautiful and so many❤️
We were out walking on our country road the other night when several small V-shaped flocks of geese flew over our heads and landed in the back of the field we were walking beside. Then out of nowhere, a very large flock came barreling into sight, flew over our heads and landed in the field. The sight and sounds made an impression that I won’t soon forget. 🙂
You are very lucky. It is a beautiful show to watch.
Thanks, Melodie. 🙂
About two years ago we had some snow geese stay locally. More like a few hundred. Someday I would like to see that many take off.
I hope you do. It’s a beautiful sight and sound!
