This is just awesome. What a neat background for this shot. Snow-capped Mt. Baker looks great here! We have the lesser snow geese here also right now; I recently went to the great Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Ladner, BC to see them but they were mainly in farmer's fields or way out in the ocean water nearby. Thousands of these geese took to the air later in the afternoon and the noise they made was so loud! What a spectacle that was to see. They just kept flying by overhead, for a long time; I think they settled in the ocean waters on the far side of the sanctuary.
