Landing In The Ponds

It seems that more and more geese are wintering here in Delta Ponds, and elsewhere.
I love catching them with outstretched wings, either landing or taking off. It's good practice for my reflexes.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do that! The closest I get is when water skiing and leaving go of the rope at high speed, coasting to a stop and slipping straight down into the water.

Great timing Vern!

Good shot Vern. They sort of "ski" to a stop in the water. It's a pleasure to see them caught in motion as they land. Very nice.

I like how they use the wings in a flaps-down type of mode like brakes and to keep themselves balance.

Some nice high speed work there Vern!
Guest 30-Dec-2012 22:27
The final approach and splash-down is always a good event to watch. Nice catch, Vern.
