Skagit County 2/10/18

I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and take a trip north to see what was around.  There were scattered birds, including Snow Geese and Swans in fields, but not in large numbers.  
After going to a few areas I started back but found - along with a number of others - a large group of Snow Geese just off the road so pulled over and waited until some action happened.

These geese obviously can't read.  Honest, this sign was really there.

Here are a few of the approximately 2,000-3,000 Snow Geese in the field, that took flight when some Bald Eagles showed up.  Now only 2,999 left.

What a beautiful sight in the sun and blue sky.  I intentionally blurred this image a bit using a relatively slow shutter speed to give an idea of what it looks like in real time.

This gives you an idea of the depth of the geese as they took flight.  Images were taken with Canon 7DMII, 100-400 lens with 1.4 extender, f8
