I visited my favorite fox spot during a recent snow storm. The foxes were nowhere to be found, but rather than go home empty, I spent some time photographing the local waterfowl. I ordinarily would have not given the Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) a second look. However, the heavy snow gave me an opportunity to create some goose images that were not merely documentary, but said something about the animals persevering through harsh conditions. As an added bonus, the snow created great, clean backgrounds.
I also shot these Common Goldeneyes (Bucephala clangula) taking flight. Not really enough light for flight photography, but the blurs work.
