The action at my local pond was good for fishing animals. While watching a common merganser play twister with a fish, a bald eagle appeared to end the game.

Flight of the Sunset Geese


An odd event occurred this evening. At least a thousand geese, all at once, some within feet of me and others apparently from the surrounding region, all took flight at once and flew north, apparently to the same location. It was kind of incredible...and quite beautiful.

Lovely timing, Don!
He/She couldn't care less about you, you are nothing but a dinner plate here. That's one concentrated and determined Chickadee.

You must give off some reassuring vibe or something. I have tried that a few times since I saw your earlier photo. I can stand there like a statue for 15 minutes and it still doesn't work. If anybody saw me they would know for sure that I am "touched in the head"

Eh... What?! *rotates the photo 180°* That looks weird. I don't think I have ever seen a Gull twist its head so much. That must be a once in a lifetime shot. Good timing!

Thanks DominoDude.

The bird was shaking it out in flight. I have seen them do it several times. I definitely consider it a once in a lifetime shot.
