Well, it has been awhile... Finally I think the amazing summer (er, spring) weather and the return of the geese has inspired me to post some photos. About a week ago I went to Mount Royal on a very foggy morning. Just as I reached the Mount Royal cemetery summit, the fog lifted, the sky turned blue and hundreds upon hundreds of geese appeared overhead.
At first they were Canadas and I was enthralled but then while I watched, the sky became full of undulating necklaces of white Snow Geese. They made some of the most magnificent patterns. Not just Vs but long fishbone-like designs in the sky.
And sometimes the flocks were mixtures of Snows and Canadas (as shown in the last photo below).
Interestingly, the dark Canada Geese were picked up by my camera's auto-focus feature quite well but the white Snow Geese threw it off and I had to try to focus manually (always a disaster for me), but I thought I would post these photos anyway.
How I love to see and hear the geese in the spring!
