Snow geese migration

The Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wild Life Refuge manages an intensive farming program to provide nutritious forage for over 30,000 wintering geese and other migratory birds and wildlife.

Though Salton Sea ecosystem is very harsh, the fishes like tilapia do survive in large numbers and attract serious bird life. Perfect place for ornithologists!

 

About the photograph:

 

Its a panorama obviously!

I have a good opportunity to observe this big flock taking off from a far way field due to a near by flying helicopter and I instantly thought to pan the shot to make a cool panorama. These are hand held shots, total 8 of them and merged in LR6.
