Russians

Westham Island, Ladner, B.C.

thousands of these snow geese arrive each year from their home base on Wrangel Island, north of Siberia...and spend the winter in the milder climate of Vancouver...they can often be seen foraging in farmer's fields near a local bird sanctuary that also offers them a safe haven

Interesting comment.soon I go to see the same near my home.The birds(cranes) come from Finland actually.We always are in interrogation how and why when we see this scenery.V

Very nice to see the white geese flying in front of the dark trees. Great shot.

Great shot of these geese in flight and on the land. You get Russian visitors, we get Canadian ones. V

Sudden flight of birds paints the forest and sky in white feathers as they form up and head out in a most interesting image. V
