Snow geese, and a short-eared owl.
Feedback welcome.

Hi Scott,

Nothing like being in the middle of a vortex of geese. What latitude ?

I confess to being no ornithologist, but the last one doesn't look like any goose I've ever seen.  It's a cracking shot, though.

It's the famous Trumpian Owl-goose, Jeremy.

Thanks, folks. Glad you liked the owl. Once every five years or so everything lines up.

It helps that the owls are abundant this spring. Tonight I watched a pair mating in flight.

Frank, this is southern Saskatchewan, 50° N.
