Geese in the Morning ~ I was down at Salton Sea yesterday, and enjoyed seeing the large flocks of wintering Snow and Ross's Geese. I loved seeing the reflections in the still morning water, and then noticed that the reflections were reflecting back up onto the geese's plumage, forming the strange lines on their bodies.
Big Flight ~ I never saw what spooked this huge flock of geese, but they rose up almost as one, and they sure can be loud! It was a beautiful sight as they flew around and around, before they finally settled back down on the water.
Black-Bellied Plover ~ This winter-plumaged Black-Bellied Plover was one of three that I saw on the beach the other day.
