These national Wildlife Refuges are both within 20 miles of Salem, Oregon. Both are places for wintering waterfowl. They also are home to many kinds of song birds as well as several species of wild flowers.

A sky like in #1 needs to be more on display. I would have angled the camera up a bit. Maybe don't "Bullseye" the flowers. Moving them some away from center might make a more pleasing shot. The last goose is out of sync, but you couldn't help that.
