This is an image of Snow Geese taking flight at Squaw Creek NWR, Missouri. This last winter for a period of a few weeks there were over 200,000 snow geese resting from their migration. As you can imagine the sound of this massive flock lifting into the air is deafening.

OMG that must be some sight! We get them a lot here in Oregon too, just before they head up to Vancouver Islan in BC. But I've never seen this huge amount at one time. I love their honkings, but wow, I'm so glad you got a photo of this en masse of the Snow Geese. Beautiful capture. Verena

LOL, took me a moment to figure out why you titled this piece, but now I understand.
It's kind of hard to tell what the shot is unless viewed in larger size. But that larger size also reveals the beauty of the birds and the clarity of your shot. However, I think it might also give Alfred Hitchcock pause, lol.
Overall, really cool shot. Nice job!

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
