Snow geese

The lesser snow geese have arrived at the Reifel Sanctuary that's at the center of the Fraser River estuary.

This was one of those days where shooting with the noon hour sun was actually advantageous. Instead of getting just white on the underbelly of the geese, the sun shone through the wings and made them glow.

The number of geese flying around is in the thousands. Although they're beautiful birds, the approaching noise made me feel like I was in a horror movie. I wish I never watched Hitchcock's The Birds.
