Description
As they migrate north to the tundra, Snow geese gather in flocks of tens of thousands, feeding on left over grain in farm fields. The Skagit Valley is a well known location for observing these massive flocks, not just for people, but also for Bald Eagles. This time of year, eagles gather to prey on young and injured geese. Every time an eagle would fly by to survey the flock, the geese erupt into flight. This proves to be a good tactic to confuse and disorient the eagles, as well as human observers...Snow Geese - Skagit Valley, Washington

Oh yes, confusing !
You managed it well !
At that time, it's hard to think where you put your focus, I through so many pictures like that because the focus wasn't on the goose where my eye was first attracted on the picture.
Congratulation !

I can't think of anything to say, except for WOW. All other words to convey my feelings have escaped me.

Absolutely incredible. Really gives the viewer a sense of the size of the flock. I'm glad you focused on the group rather than on a single bird... it brings home a sense of the setting rather than just details of an individual.

This is just amazing!!! It looks very much like BBC wildlife documentaries "Planet Earth". Literally amazing!
