Into the sun

Practiced taking birds in flight photos.  Gulls, cormorants, ducks, and geese were flying, but no eagles. The way the sun skimmed off this Canada goose caught my eye.  Think I'm improving but am starting to have lens envy; other photographers I see at the river always have zoom lenses going to at least 400mm.  My extra zoom is achieved by cropping.

Except for ice chunks floating by, the ice is gone from the river.  The river water is a foot higher from snow melt, flowing strongly, and has less clarity.  Did not need gloves to keep hands warm while shooting photos today, yay!
