Canada Geese

Glenn and I are in a raft floating down Soda Creek that flows into Sparks Lake. Glenn commented to me about the one bird we saw that was alone and away from the rest of the birds when I looked it up I found that answer:


In a gaggle of geese why does there always seem to be one who is the outcast?
In: Wild Animals

he is the looker. He or she is looking for danger to keep the flock safe.


Here we are approaching the gaggle of geese in our raft with our favorite mountain Broken Top in the back ground.
Here is some more on the other side of our raft with the South Sister in the back ground.
The geese are moving away from us, if only I could hold this momment in my thoughts it was amazing to watch. Here we are getting to close for their comfort some walked off and others took off into flieght then circled around and came back. Amazing sight to see. You should get a raft and give it a try you will be please with the outcome. The only problem is the creek will be only a trickle in about 2 weeks, the snow melt will slow and soda creek will not be the raging 6 to 8 foot wide creek that flows quickly and smoothly both at the same time.
