Sunset yesterday at Squaw Creek Wildlife Refugee, north of St Joe Missouri. The latest estimates have over 1 million snow geese there. You can also see the geese in the water...at first glance it looks like a snowy bank, but it's a bank of birds. I also ran into BP member Derrald Farnsworth, from Omaha, and we did one lap around the refugee.

F8, 1/1250th sec, ISO 400, 400mm focal length
