I usually think of Canada Geese as extroverts. They are loud and gregarious and announce their presence when they arrive. I captured this one making a big splash, literally.
Looking at the photo, I think that I must have had my focusing point on an area between the wings, because there are a lot of beautiful details in the feathers. In some ways I am using these geese as test subjects as I learn to track birds in flight (and landing) and try to time my exposures for maximum effect. They don’t seem to mind (though I am waiting for one to ask me for copies of the photos to show to his friends).

Wonderful freeze shot.
Thanks. I had the advantage of good luck and being in the right place when the goose landed.
That’s an amazing shot!
Nice catch.
Terrific shot. This is tough to do.
great capture Mike.
Thanks. I never get tired of trying to capture moving birds (it helps when they are as big as this goose).
This one is caught, hook on sinker.
