It’s that time of year and they have started to slip into the back marshes. It’s hard to close to these flocks. This group landed in a location that had no access… except by air.

They glide in with little noise. The final ‘splash’ down gives them away.

I much prefer wide and long shots like these to closeups. The fall reeds and pines add so much to the images.
