Pictures of geese flying

[SummerChick]

This is not the greatest picture but if you have ever tried to take a picture of your geese flying then you know how difficult it is...first of all, remembering to carry your phone or camera with you and second being ready at the same time the geese decide to fly. It is never a long flight so one has to be pretty quick..lol.

Both Lucy and Elly fly but Elly is the lightest and she flies farther and more often...its funny to watch...Im pretty sure Lucy is a gander and is dominant, so when Elly flies farther well Lucy keeps running as if to show, i can beat you running if not flying! When they fly i always cheer them on by saying whoohoo! and clap...im as silly as a goose!

Anyway here is Elly...we were out walking when all a sudden Elly flys over my head, i ducked and took the picture...its a lil blurry but shows the height pretty well. I love the sprawled legs and feet in the pic. You can see the hummingbird feeder hanging in the tree in front of her.







I posted this pic already but wanted to show again...Elly taking flight!

Does she start running before she takes off? my 2 like to use the driveway as a run way, they never leave the ground but theres alot of flapping and running like they may. neat pics.

mine are the same they use the garden as a runway but the garden is not long enough to take off, loads of flapping and blowing feathers

i have even seen them try a standing takeoff but they jump a few inches and flop back on their feet

i love it


you wouldnt think that i have a major fear of large birds in flight, (Ornithophobia)

i have had it since i was 4 years old

chikens and smaller i am ok with but anything larger i freak out if they open their wings when i was 11 i had a encounter with 4 jersy giants my dad brought even then i ran indoors screaming

i was always saying to myself i wont get geese as they are the size i fear along with peacocks, herons, eagles, and large such birds

but i decided to get the geese and love em and have become used to the large wings when they flap infact i love watching them up close


but that said i still have a fear for others like peacocks and eagles etc


i wont even go to Bird World LOL

Looks interesting, this movie was made in the early 60's I think, every time I see birds flocking especially crows I think of that movie.

It's funny, I've noticed a certain squawk or honk that I think Elly makes, maybe she is stating that she is about to take off... lol. They start running and the short flight starts. I'm intent on getting more pics because I think when they get heavier, there won't be anymore flights.
