No need to comment on 'photo quality', I already know they're lousy, it's the subject that matters! :lol:

Cool stuff Walter!  I wouldn't exactly call those "lousy" shots.  They show something unique around us.  And I thank you for sharing here.  I just may have to get back out to Whitby Harbour again soon.  We got "skunked" by the Smew...  maybe these guys will be around?

I was there yesterday and wasn't able to find any other geese than thousands of Canada Geese...
