First shot of the Season
Taken from the car yesterday while on my way to the city, I consider this my first wildlife shot of the season, at least of the returning visitors. I have only seen a few very small groups flying in a V-formation, so I was suprised to see so many in fields along the way.
It must be tough for them as there is still a fair amount of snow covering the fields and with a couple of warm days a week or so ago there was some melting, and then it got cold again creating a crust on the surface. Where it has melted or evaporated there really can not be much in the way of nutritious food for them. I know they must eat along the way, but still migration must take a lot of energy, so they must be hungry.
