Spring Arrival - Canada and Greater Snow Geese

With the my winter Snowy Owl season over, my camera is now turned towards the spring migration.

Don't worry, I've lots of Snowy Owl photos in my archives and I will be posting new ones throughout the summer, both for your viewing pleasure and for my nostalgic well-being.

These Canada Geese are on the move. In the background, you can see white blotches which are in fact a line of Greater Snow Geese feeding in the field.

Canon 5D Mark III with the 500L f4 lens with the 1.4 Extender II on monopod @ 1/1000, f8, ISO 400, +1 exposure compensation. Cropped slightly to properly level the horizons.

Many of my photos on this day suffered from a background distortion due to the rapid evaporation of humidity by a warm sun. In the best of situations, this can give the impression of a painter's brush-stroke. This one here isn't too bad, although many others are almost unusable.

Cheers,

Mike

Salut Mike. J'ai vu 3 harfangs sur Jean Gauvin avant hier et il y en a 6-7 à la Baie de Beauport. La saison se prolonge donc avec les arrivages de harfangs ayant migré plus au Sud. Il semble y avoir eu une mention en Floride. Spéciale saison 2014. Au plaisir.
