Description
Flock of Snow Geese flying in front of the moon. This image was taken in New Mexico, at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, where thousands of snow geese winter over every year. They spend nights in shallow ponds or lakes to be safe from predators, and during the day they spend their days eating in the nearby corn fields along with sandhill cranes. This image was converted from color to black and white.
From Cornell Lab's website: "Watching huge flocks of Snow Geese swirl down from the sky, amid a cacophony of honking, is a little like standing inside a snow globe. These loud, white-and-black geese can cover the ground in a snowy blanket as they eat their way across fallow cornfields or wetlands. Among them, you might see a dark form with a white head—a color variant called the “Blue Goose.” Snow Geese have skyrocketed in numbers and are now among the most abundant waterfowl on the continent."
