   Another amazing photo! Just curious, are the geese close-cropped?

   Thanks skylark. Close-cropped? You mean their haircuts? Not as close as the bees!

   But seriously folks… yes, I cropped the frame to about half.

    Ah, this is how they do it!
    They are so heavy and big on the ground that it seems they need something more than just wings to get them up in the air.
    This photograph is like anatomy of flight, one can see how every feather works here and the movement is fluid and powerful and the curves are perfect.
