Goose Lake

The day before yesterday went out to Camrose for an afternoon. As we approached a distant bend in the highway I could see a huge flock of birds wheeling in the distance. As the kilometres crawled by, they defined themselves into what I was told were snow geese. There were literally thousands of them.

They were congregating in and around one of the large temporary bodies of water that form at this time of year from snow melt and rain. Here's a small section of the 'lake'.
