Return of geese and goslings

Return of geese and goslings

The geese have returned with their young. Only two little ones this year... I hope they make it! I think they started off with five young ones last year.

I spotted them for the first time today as I was looking out the bedroom window. They slipped away while I was getting the camera but after a short walk through the woods I found them slipping further down the pond.

As I learn more about photography I'm starting to recognize the limitations of my equipment. I shot this with my 55-200mm lens stretched all the way out and I was a little surprised at how soft the birds looked even though they were the focus point. Ah well... a little sharpness filter, a slight crop, convert the RAW to JPG and here they are!
