Migration
Fowl Weather
A large flock of snow geese soars through a clear blue sky above Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge near Mound City, Missouri. The birds’ white feathers contrast sharply against the vibrant backdrop.
I took this image on a visit to the refuge. I went there hoping to photograph the record number of eagles reported there. I got some eagle photos (watch for future posts) but I think I enjoyed photographing the snow geese in flight more. The contrasting black and white against a blue sky was very appealing to my eye.

Skyward Inspiration
The sky above Lake Michigan and the lighthouse at Kewaunee, Wisconsin had an inspirational feel to it, complete with calm, reflective water, the dramatic, yet warm, glow of sunlight filtered through textured clouds, a lone fisherman on the pier and a formation of geese high overhead.
This image was taken on a Saturday morning. I was glad to capture the geese flying though the scene, as it doesn’t happen often. (At least, not often enough for me.)
