Canada Snow Geese on "Lift Off"
This shot was taken in the city of Richmond just south of the Vancouver International Airport. Here we see part of a flock of approximately 5,000 Canada Snow Geese on lift off. I have watched and photographed these amazing birds for the past nine years. I have never seen a collision between two birds even with more than 10,000 of them flying in close proximity.
Just imagine 10,000 drones flying overhead inches apart or the upcoming self-drivng cars with not a single collision ever.....! That is what we have every day in nature with no control towers or infrastructure to keep everything in sync. Totally awesome when you think about it....!
Awesome! What a sight that is and to behold their amazing sound!
What you are seeing is all I could capture with my lens and is a smal portion of the scene...quite a spectacular experience.
Wow, thats quite the sight!
The sound was deafening when 5000 plus birds lift off. Very cool indeed. Thanks for commenting.
A pleasure! I never even thought of the sound. You will have to get a video too!!
I am thinking of trying to capture the sound when they return this year.
