Snow Geese Taking Flight

We found a large flock of snow Geese at the Brigantine division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. From our first vantage point they were far away, but the sun was behind us. So we moved down the wildlife drive to get closer to the other end of the flock. There were probably thousands of Snow Geese in the water. When we got closer to the far end of the flock we were shooting into the lowering sun so we were getting an interesting warm color to our shots. All of a sudden the hundreds on the end by us took off across the lowering sun.
