And We Have Lift Off! 0181

From the flight deck at Bosque del Apache NWR thousands of snow geese lift off in unison. Snow geese have this ability to synchronize their take off. It makes for a wonderful an noisy display. They perform this ritual over, and over again throughout the day. At times they return to the same area that they just left, and at other times they fly off into another direction. It is one of the sights that people travel to see. At close range the vista can be spectacular.
