diet

Westham Island, Delta

fed up with a boring diet of caviar and vodka, every year Snow Geese fly down from Siberia to pass the winter dining on waste grain, unharvested vegetables, winter hay, and other crops on Westham Island

Wow, what a lunch time crowd...I do believe they leave quite the mess when they are done. V

A great capture of this wild gathering.

What a flock! Many of them also head south to scour the fields of Washington state.

They sure know where to feast and in such a huge gathering too....must have made quite a racket with their discordant cacophony of honks and hinks...V

What a sight - funny that there doesn't appear to be any in the far field. Good to know they are flourishing !

Wow, they are abundant there! I had almost forgotten about seeing snow geese in BC! Great shot. V

Caviar, and vodka life's essentials, but I might have to substitute, shrimp and bourbon.

Neat shot of this large dinner gathering David. Your caption made me smile.

The size of that flock is amazing. Love seeing all the different behaviors.
Walter Otto Koenig20-Oct-2021 19:37
Seems there is plenty to eat so they're having a big party. Cool shot, I wish there was sound.
Doug Cruden20-Oct-2021 18:56
LOL! That's a whole load of geese there David!
Johnny JAG20-Oct-2021 18:28
Take a gander at them!
Colin Storey20-Oct-2021 18:04
Great image of them all.

That's a lot of them!

Conference meeting.

They seem to have taken over. Love the depth from front to back. I got hissed at the other day by a Canadian goose the other day. They are aggressive. V

Great shot of this huge gathering. I can see why they would leave Siberia for BC.
joseantonio20-Oct-2021 16:20
nice to see so many of them.V.

There is an excellent French vodka called "Grey Goose" made with soft winter wheat and a very pure spring water from Cognac (not a joke !)... If you have too much of snow geese send them here they will spend a nice winter...:)
