Egyptian Geese

[Krijn Trimbos]

This is from Texel last spring. Jasper and I were photographing Spoonbills but these exotics are doing so well in the Netherlands that once in a while they came swooping by as well....

Pretty cool that you got one with wings up and one with wings down.

Nice shot of some really ugly birds ;)

[David Kennedy]

I agree with Jim. Good wing positions, nice spacing, nice light, good head angles. I believe one of my favorite Artie quotes from the Kenya photo safari was "Oh great, more of those 'darn' ugly Egyptian Geese." (BPN censored the original 4-letter word that looks a lot like "darn.")

Truly great to get a pair in flight. Both look great.

Nice wing positions and details. I still have to see this species. Thanks for sharing.
