Hey Preston,

Nice image - similar to the one that you published in the Critiques Forum. Curiously, what type of birds are they?

Yes, it is similar. In the other photo I was trying to capture some of the colors of sunrise as the snow geese were blasting off over the marshes. This image was shot 4 days later when the geese had increased in numbers, this is estimated at about 270,000 geese. They had left the marsh and were feeding in a cornfield several miles away.

This was intended as sort of a Where's Waldo composition, as I had never seen that many geese so close together.
