Grande famille, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

L'oie blanche habite en Alaska et dans les régions arctiques du Canada. Durant sa migration elle se nourrit de maïs et de blé dans les champs. L'oie des neiges se retrouve au Québec (Cap Tourmente). Après avoir parcouru 900 Km... l'oie des neiges se repose le long du fleuve St Laurent en vue de continuer son voyage jusque dans le Grand Nord. Voyage qui représente environ 3500km de vol à partir du Cap Tourmente. Le passage de ces magnifiques oiseaux mérite certainement un p'tit cliché ;) J'espère que vous apprécirez!!!!

The white goose lives in the Alaska area and in Northen Canada. During her migration, she eats corn and wheat. It is possible to find the white goose in Québec (Cap Tourmente) After a long run of 900 km, this bird rests on the St.Lawrence River border to gain energy for her trip to the Great North. This trip represent a run of 3500 km beginning at Cap Tourmente. Those birds stop surely deserves a shot! Hope you enjoy this one!!!

Bonjour Yan,

Merci pour l'information sur la migration des oies, je ne me suis jamais demandé où allait tout ces oies. Il semble y avoir beaucoup d'oies sur la photo, dommage qu'on ne puisse voir l'étendu du groupe.

Bonsoir Yan,

Comment t'y es tu pris pour les capter sans qu'elles ne s'envollent. Les oies blanches, c'est peureux pas pour dire.

Hi Yan,
I'm so sorry for taking so long to get back to you after your most recent critique of my phot. Things have been a little bit crazy around here lately.
This pic is really nice! I love the colours, particularly the vivid green of the grass, and the way the geese contrast with it. The use of light is good and the image quality, with all that detail, is particularly good.
You must have a strong influence over these geese because you got them all to face the same way! ;-) If I asked them to all look the same way, they'd probably fly away!
Thanks so much for posting an English version of your note. It's very interesting and informative. There are a few stupid people, like me, who are unable to read any other language.... :-(
Keep up the good work, my friend.

Hugs,
Tony
