They came from the skies, invaders from the north in a tight military formation, seeking for openings to breach the defenses of their southern neighbor’s capital city.
They sent out reconnaissance forces, in the air and on the waters of the Potomac River, collecting information and looking for a spot for a larger landing force.
The landing zone secure, a larger force arrived and thus began the naval blockade of Washington D.C. A declaration of war has not yet been made by either side.

Way to be there! The second one takes the prize for me, for sure!
Thanks, Gary. My personal favorite is the third one, with so many of the geese landing at the same time.
I thought all the geese had left us but I saw 4 of them in a local river last weekend. Maybe just the hardiest of the bunch, because it was cold.
Nicely done, some great image you got here 🙂
Thanks. It looks like you and I have recently been shooting a lot of the same subjects (including geese).
