Eliza Waters 
What a perfect picture – you saw them at the right time!
Thank you, Anne. I love watching them, they call to my heart.
Nice capture! Perfect example of being in the right place at the right time!
Thank you, Jerome!
Truly speechless
🙂 Thank you!
Wow!
Thank you, Cathy! 🙂
I would have loved to watch that formation take shape and then change…
I always stop to watch them pass, their constant honking back and forth makes me wonder what they are communicating. Strategy, commenting on conditions, gossip? 😉
I would love to know!
🙂
The birds have been interesting this year. We’ve seen different ones and large groups. I guess they also know 2020 isn’t an average year. Great pic.
Thank you, Judy. I’ve noticed a lot of different migrants passing through. I hope they are having a productive year!
Oh wow, you were in the right place at the right time to capture this synchronised flying, Eliza. 🙂
Thank you, Joanne. This time of year, skeins of Canada geese go over daily. There must be millions, a very successful species who have adapted to human environments like suburban parks, ponds and lakes.
I had wondered if you knew what type of birds they are. I guess they are heading south for the winter.
Yes, our ponds and lakes freeze solid, so they must head south to frost free zones.
It’s awesome to see them flying like that. I saw a formation day before yesterday. Recently, Mary Holland posted about the ‘mechanics’ of geese flying in formation.
The ultimate in cooperation. The constant reshuffling ensures the whole group wins.
Oh, I love seeing geese fly over Eliza! They always seem to know when snow is on the way… is it forecast for you?
Canada geese are the only ones we regularly see and they start flying over in Sept. but yes, 1″ snow is predicted for Friday. Luckily, it won’t last as the ground isn’t frozen yet.
I’ve yet to see this here, Eliza. Perhaps I missed it. I don’t know. But I LOVE seeing these formations in the sky despite the fact they bring sadness knowing what is coming.
IKR? It is a bittersweet thing seeing them leave without us!
I’ll be on the lookout for their arrival here.
They’re on their way!
Great capture. Most of the ones I see around here are a lot smaller than this one.
Thank you. The flocks here seem to get bigger and bigger!
Heard geese the other day as they fly by my home in the woods. Didn’t see the geese, but even the sound makes me shiver. Good luck, good luck, I always wish them.
They always take a little piece of my heart with them, I long to follow!
Haunting and beautiful! Their calls always bring tears to my eyes.
Nice Eliza! Fun to see them in large formations flying by!
Yes, it is, thanks, Reed!
I will love to fly away with them…
Clever birds to escape the cold and snowy north!
Well caught. I love to see them arrive at Wimpole’s lakes like this, but I haven’t seen any this year yet. Great sound too!
Thank you, Allison. I know some think of them as ‘nuisance’ birds, but they are a wild autumn tradition that holds lots of meaning.
I’ve seen something like this, and the noise they made was amazing! Beautiful capture — I hope I get to see and hear them again soon.
The chatter is the coolest thing about these skeins… they let everyone know they are coming! When they return in spring, it is proof that winter is over, a happy sign.
Fantastic. You’re doing things in blue again! Blue vase swapped for blue sky.
Ha, it is a lovely colour! Thanks, MJ.
That’s a happy geometric minimalism.
🙂 Thanks, Steve. Spoken like a true mathematician.
Of your commenters, you’ll get zero denial from this one.
Spectacular! Also something I can’t remember ever seeing here.
Thanks, Kris! Perhaps because they are fresh water geese? Lots of water birds overwinter just east of you in the Salton Sea area. One thing I’ve always wanted to see are the large flocks of snow geese numbering in the thousands in the marshes of the middle south, particularly.
Wonderful capture! Always enjoy watching the flight preparations and formations and always smile at the one that is a little out of line.🙂
Thank you! I imagine you see all sort of geese on your walks and kayak rides. Skeins of geese are so representative of the fall season.
“South, Miss Teschmacher!” : ) … 9extra points if you get the reference!)
😀 Haha, funny! (I confess, I had to google it, though. 😉 )
That is a huge single formation! Amazing 😊.
Yes, 50 seems like a lot of geese, and they were quite vocal! These didn’t seem interested in visiting the pond I was near, they kept hurrying south.
Coming or going? I can imagine the noise!
Heading south and very noisily! I love hearing that wild honking.
Your photo says so much, Eliza, even without words. A lovely tribute to our migrating friends and the turning of the season.
Thank you, Jet. Better as a wordless Wednesday, than a silent Sunday, because as you know, geese are NOT silent! 😀
What a perfect sky! And the alignment of the geese is wonderful. Great timing and capture, Eliza. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. Lucky for me, they flew directly overhead. 🙂
Its fascinating to watch birds flying “In formation as that help to save their energy ~ in certain ways” Thank you for sharing the picture with us. Sending Greetings from Aussie Brisbane ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you! They are one of nature’s many fascinations. 🙂
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Bela!
How fantastic – something really epic about such formations of wild geese. Beautifully captured.
Thank you, Carol. With the snow and cold temps of late, they’ll need to get going before the ponds ice over.
No one else could have taken this! It’s like they find you ❤️❤️
Perfect formation … well, there’s always one! We don’t get as many Canada geese here like Back East, where they are sometimes regarded as pests.
Yes, those flocks poop a lot 😉 and can take down planes, yikes!
I love to see that it is evocative of autumn.
It truly is, thanks, Brian.
Love it !
Thank you, glad you do! 🙂
Wow!
Thank you, Fabio!
