Geese!...

On the way back from finding the drained Prickett Dam (see previous three posts, below) , we saw a farmer's pond that was very picturesque.

On closer exam, I saw TWO kinds of geese floating on the pond...one kind which I have never been able to capture on camera!



Look at these!!
SNOW GEESE!!:


Here is a snow goose on shore. If you look close, there is one behind him, in the bushes, too:

And right behind the snow geese???
A string of Canadian geese!!:



I loved their reflection in the pond:




The snow geese looked like swans at first, but we looked them up and they are indeed Snow Geese, but still very pretty and picturesque:



Look at their funny forehead bumps!:





Here is the group, all swimming on the same pond!:





I think they met there to make some plans as to where they were going to meet up again in Florida!:





Who could blame them? It is getting pretty cold up here in Northern Michigan!!
