Focus would not have ever happened as I was two farm fields away from this huge flock of migrating snow geese. I was traveling to the old place to get the mail and check on the house when I could not believe what I was seeing. I had heard that snows were migrating through central Iowa. I saw a large flock of them flying over our house earlier in the week.
When a large truck would drive by sections of the thousands of birds would rise up and then resettle again. I have never seen the snows and blues migrate through central Iowa over the 42 years that I have lived here.
This area was a fourth of the whole distance that they were spread across that farm valley. I knew that I was just too far away from them to get a good shot but I did get some impressions of what I saw. At one time I was standing on the back bumper of the truck, parked along the four lane highway, shooting as traffic passed. I have more photos than I can share. I went home by the Lake Saylorville and saw trumpeter swans, eagles and some small black ducks.
