20111009 - 1 008 SERIES - Bruce Pit, Geese.jpg

Bruce Pit, Ottawa

Five Images of Autumn colours and migrating Geese.

Top image: General overview of Bruce Pit where thousands of Canada Geese and seven Snow Geese have gathered in preparation for their migration south.


Overview of the gathering geese in the near part of the pond/lake.



Closer view of the far shore of the pond/lake. At the far end, near the reeds, seven Snow Geese can be seen amongst the large flock of Canada Geese. Note: I saw these same seven Snow Geese the day previous at Shirley's bay, Ottawa.



Canada Geese and Snow Geese in the water and Canada Geese flying off. Note: The three mature Snow Geese and four juveniles near the front. (This image is a combination/merging of two images.)



Close-up of the three mature Snow Geese. Note: The seven Snow Geese flew off and did not return after a lady approached with a large dog and she allowed her dog to splash in the water. This in spite of the fact that this area is off-limits to dogs.

I have no patience with people who do not follow the "no dogs" rule. Did you yell at her?
Coleen Perilloux Landry14-Nov-2011 20:48
That will be a wonderful sound when they all take off. Would love to see the snow geese.
