January's "snow"......Snow Geese!

We drove to Henderson today and looked for the migratory geese.  I think the numbers have gone down the last few years, but there were still a whole lot of geese.
A mix of the Snow Geese 
It was late afternoon and they were all landing in one field fairly close to the road. 



A few coming in for a landing. 

In another field the White Fronted Geese were hanging out together.

 My only half way decent sky shot :-)
And there were a few turkeys in another field.  A good day for birding.  Our weather is milder then usual this year so far.  It has been nice to have sunshine most days and the temps aren't too bad.
