Yesterday, even though it was cold and a bit windy, I made a trip down to Middle Creek Wildlife Refuge to see the Snow Geese that stop by here every year. There are truly thousands of them that migrate either North or South. They usually arrive here in the middle of Feburary and stay here for a number of weeks, until it’s time to leave for where-ever they continue to fly to. The fields & ponds are filled with them. Many people come from everywhere to see this wonder of Nature.
This is just a sample of the all the Geese that are here. A problem for me is that I never can tell who is Female and who is Male. They know, and that’s all that counts. To hear the sound of their wings when they get “spooked” taking flight all at the same time is quite a experience to hear. It’s a “roar” that is hard to explain using words.
This is the camera Lens that I use for long shot’s. It’s a Vivitar 500mm Mirror Lens. It’s mounted on my Pentax K100, but since then I’ve used my Pentax K10d more. It’s a nice Lens, but takes some practice getting to learn how it works. The focus for this is very “touchy”. It’s hard to get a good focus with it. When you install a 2x Doubler on, it brings the Lens to 1000mm! That’s alot. Then it’s harder to get good Images with it. This is one reason I don’t use it that much. I have to stay with this, cause I just can’t afford those big, huge Wildlife Lens’s. They are quite expensive for me.
Thanks for stopping by.

Wow! Neat photos!
Thank you, mb Henry
That’s quite a ride for you I’m glad you got some good images. I was considering going there the next sunny afternoon to photograph the people watching the birds. The light is excellent before sundown there.
No, Mike, it’s not all that far away for me. About a half hour drive. Don’t wait too long, though. They usually stay until around the 2nd week of March, but not sure on that one. Then they are gone!
