Sheryl, Tammy, and I went down to the roller dam to try for some photos of the eagles. Guess what? The eagles were NOT cooperating - there were only a couple, and they just sat in the trees and looked pretty. BUT, the Canadian Geese were more than happy to stand in for a photo shoot, eh! Tammy was our official goose wrangler. I had brought along half a bag of bread to pay... er... bribe the geese. I plopped my butt down and sat in the snow (TG for LL Bean snow pants and parka!) for an hour while Tammy chucked bread to the geese. I have to tell you - some of it ended up IN Tammy and some of it ended up IN my hair. We started out with one little mallard and ended up with a LOT of geese... probably about a hundred all told. So here's the math part: I took 494 photos and saved 43... so I ended up with 8.7% (yep - I'm weird - I like the math!!). So here are a couple of my favorites - I have to say, I think the head shots are my VERY favorites.
