Those were great. If you have HDTV, and get Discovery Theater, you ought to see the most magnificant bird footage I've ever seen. Show called Winged Migration. It's a 2 hour movie. Even kept the dog mezmerized for most of it.

A retriever, I assume?

:) Somewhat close! Vizsla: A Hungarian pointer.
 
I just love watching bird migrations! The Pacific Flyway goes right over the Delta. We get
Canadian Geese, Snow Geese, honkers, swans and cranes every year. And of course we get tons of ducks, don't
know the identities of them, except Comarants which stay year round.

One time I saw thousands of snow geese settling onto an island in the delta for the night. What a
sight. They covered the entire eastern sky with the sun setting from the west. Wish I had gotten
some pics......
