Fir Island is renowned in the Pacific Northwest for it’s inordinate amount of wintering bird and waterfowl. This is a depiction of thousands of snowgeese as they swarm the island. When they rise it is much like the action in a ‘snowglobe’ after it is shaken. What can’t be described by this photo is the thundering cacophony that can be heard form a half mile away as they squawk in a thousand voices. I shot this as I was leaving my home yesterday morning. My ‘backyard’ if you will.
You have a few birds in your backyard 😉 a breathtaking photo… never seen that many birds in one place.
Such splendor…I’d love to see something like this sometime. Big sigh…
And this must be a sight to behold Fantastic shot !!
Absolutely beautiful, but and shocking a bit… 🙂
Great event. I like your snow gees photos.
This is certainly a beautiful shot. Those birds in the foreground sky are amazing. I must say, though… this looks a bit scary to me.
An amazing photo and well taken. We have nothing like that in Australia.
A marvellous photograph, Eddie
