Invasion of the six

We took a drive down the George Washington Parkway, which runs along the Potomac River to Mount Vernon (Washington’s plantation), thinking maybe we could find some birds to practice photographing.

This particular area was full of geese and ducks. As soon as this group of six approached, the others took off.

One last view, posted earlier:

Looks like naval maneuvers are underway here.

Always love to watch the entertaining behavior of water birds.

A kind of immigration problem in geese land... Well captured, Helen. ~V

Cool shot of these Canada Geese. The one that's inverted really makes the shot for me.
