Small skein of snow geese flying west over south Seattle (anser caerulescens)

Barely saw these birds in time to get a couple photos; of course they were flying away from me and not the other way around... Decided they had to be either snow geese or white pelicans and did some research and from photos, and descriptions of how each bird tends to fly, I became pretty convinced they're snow geese.

How exciting it is to see a skein of geese like this Vingio.

That's a grand image lad - very well done.
