What do you do when hundreds of Snow Geese descend from the sky and started landing around you? This happened to me at the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge two weeks ago.
Snow Geese falling out of the sky.
I initially tried to capture everyone of them in one photo! But I quickly gave up that attempt and concentrated on two of them. Here are the results, with all the following photos taken in less than 2 seconds.

Great set of photos. I think when you see birds wings in slow motion you can see how amazing they look. 😀

Excellent photo series of landing – well captured! Impressive to see how they can control the landing on the water 🙂

You are right Indah! They seem to be able to land exactly on the spot that they want, without colliding with any other geese or ducks.

Awesome photos of the snow geese landing! They are rare visitors to Michigan, you’re very lucky to live in an area where they are numerous in the winter.

Our area is in their seasonal migration path so I see them quite often at the refuge. It’s one of their favorite places with many things they can eat in the marshes and in fields in the surrounding area.
