Another Very Rare Beauty

These are Greater White-fronted Geese. They are a deep Arctic species, and I may never see them again. Many people have been trying to capture these and we were just at the right place at right time. Driving down road and saw them coming over us, stopped car, and I jumped out and took these, handheld, no time for tripod.

Excellent set HBG - love it!

Wonderful captures, HBG. #3 is awesome.

wow, great job getting such superior shots in such a hurry. a testament to your skill. I've never heard of these geese before so it's a treat to see them.

Thanks to all for the wonderful compliments. I find myself very fortunate to have been able to see, let alone photograph, these rarities.

Another fine set HBG.

Wow, talk about being in the right place at the right time! I'd never heard of them either.
