Diese beiden balzenden Graugänse haben sogar im Vorbeiflug synchrone Geschnatter.
These two mating greylag geese even have synchronized chatter as they fly by.
Taken late in the day some years ago at Middle Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Pennsylvania. Middle Creek NWR is a major stopover for Snow Geese on their journey northward each year. Sometimes they number 100,000+ geese gathered here at one time, stopping to rest for a few days, feed and wait for favorable weather as they move along in stages to their Arctic breeding grounds.
I wasn't very close, but they were restless, making a lovely racket, heads up. Clearly something was afoot. They abruptly jumped up, and as soon as these cleared the rest packed up and left too. Somehow they all got the message about orientation and they took off heading right, not a single one went left. Good thing, too, considering the congestion.
They had been out on the refuge fields feeding on grain left on the ground by management, and ended up settling down on the pool for the night, where it was safe. The pool was a mile or so to the left, but they all went right initially. Show offs.

American White Pelicans have a very different way of fishing compared to Brown Pelicans!
I watched these guys take off in groups from the "island" at the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve. They all gathered together at one end of the lake - likely > 75. (the image shows a subset of ~30) They formed an extended line and started traveling around the lake close to the shore. periodically they would beat their wings on the water to move the fish towards the shore. Then they would take gulps of water which they filtered to end up with a meal. Cool to see the level of synchronization as they took off sequentially in groups, gathered together and then followed each other closely packed around the entire lake !!.
Cormorants accompany them and dive for their fish - therby driving more fish to the surface for the Pelicans. Synergystic, synchronized fishing for both the Pelicans and Cormorants.
I just love this time of year and we've had such amazing Spring weather these past few weeks. I'm breathing it all in as deeply - and as often - as I can.

A pair of Black-necked Stilts land near a pair of Northern Shovelers. As fall approaches the birds begin to return to the preserve.
Happy Monday everyone! Thanks for the huge support on my last upload. I am incredibly humbled and happy to make another (unexpected) run on Explore. Love you guys! I will definitely try to catch up with some of my close contacts in a bit. Great week ahead everyone! :)

Sincronizar la marea baja con una buena tarde de luz intensa y especialmente sincronizarte con los paseantes de la playa, unas veces un problema , otras veces aliados inesperados.

These are two of the geese that live in a pond very close to our home. They fly, with much honking, over our house from the pond to the small creek on the other side of our house .
Finally got around to processing images from the big camera. I love playing around with multiple exposures and seeing how the tiny details unseen in image capture, such as the stems of cottonwood leaves can create (in my mind anyway) the legs of diving swimmers as their teammates tread ice scarved with desert willow leaves.
