WTF!!! Snow Geese

[Jun Gregorio]

Relax folks. I meant What the Flock!!! ;D ;D ;D

The Snow Geese came a few weeks early. Na tsamba lang ako. It was a sunny day and I had nothing to do. So I went to my favourite birding site. The Reifel Island bird sanctuary.







And here is a guy doing what hunters do. So close to the border of the sanctuary.

WHOA!!! Perfect timing Jun!

[Jun Gregorio]

Yes I'll come again next week.

;D ;D ;D I got carried away and used up my 4GB card and half of the other.

Yes Romy, they were tons. I'm not quite sure how to shoot it. Maybe you and the others have some suggestions.

If I used my 70-200 then I lose the composition of size. On the other hand if I use my 17-85 then I lose details. I didn't know how to frame my shots so I just wing (pardon the pun) it.

Yea Ted, be ready. They're coming your way.

Wow, lots of birds indeed.
Was the hunter shooting these geese?

I'm not quite sure kasi he's aim is horizontal toward the sea. He wasn't aiming overhead where the snowgeese are flying over.
