Sandhill Cranes and Snow Geese
Feb 17, 2016 17:57:01 #
Here are a few pictures I was able to get of Snow Geese and a few Sandhill Cranes. There were thousands of geese. I could not believe how loud they were when they started to fly. I was at the right place at the right time.

Can only imagine how loud it was when those snow geese started taking off. Its a wonder they don't knock out some of the other geese. Surprised the cranes stayed on the ground but they probably enjoyed the less crowded area. Enjoyed the last 3 photos of the cranes. Mahalo for sharing.

Thank you Bill. I didn't like the first picture but wanted to show how much taller the cranes were. Terri

Thank you JoAnne! I don't know how they fly without hurting each other. They flew right over us. I was so glad they didn't drop something disgusting on me or my camera. lol. Terri

Thank you Jaymatt! I got lots of pictures of the cranes Sunday but wanted to show the size difference between the birds in the first few pictures. Terri

That second shot is amazing. From what I understand the Snow Geese are taking over nesting sites and forcing out other species from their nestig sites. The are noisy - honking in the air and on the ground.....yack, yack, yack. :-)

Thank you AnutieM! I was amazed at how many geese there were. The cranes did not seem to be bothered by them. Terri
