Canada Geese, Monochrome, February

 North Fork of the Shenandoah 


In Canada and northern US, most Canada geese migrate south in the winter time. Here in Virginia, they often stay year round, plus we get migrants from Canada because this is south to them. Nonetheless, it gets very cold here, but their feathers are remarkably effective at insulating them.

  2. Nice shot! The other day I was telling my wife that it's going to be cold, she said how cold and I said 56 degrees. Then I realized how ridiculous that would sound to someone on the East coast. :-)

  3. I love how you captured the geese in monochrome. The details in their feathers really stand out, and your note about their resilience in the cold makes me appreciate them even more.

  5. Canada Geese are so pretty, resilient and friendly (most of the time.)

  6. Canada Geese don't seem to mind the cold so long as there is food. We should start to see geese migrating back north in a few weeks.
