agit Valley.  Thousands of snow geese stop over feeding on the vegetation before continuing their migration.  It was an amazing sight.  After taking a few close up images, it became obvious that if that’s all I can get, watching them feeding and quacking, it’s going to be quite boring.  A nearby farmer had some kind of loud bang going from time to time but the geese just ignored them.  It’s quite comical.  After for a while, I was just about to give up, and then all the sudden, a collective loud sound of tens of thousands wings flipping and all geese were airborne.  It was absolutely worth the wait.  Wow!  And then I saw it, a little dark figure flying above the flock.  It’s a raptor, maybe a hawk, just passing by and this little predator caused all the commotion.  I got my shots.  Thank you hawk!
