Snow Geese
Swarming Directions
41-second video (2.8-meg file)
March 4, 2012
 



Of the perhaps 10,000 snow geese at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, Pennsylvania, in the middle of Friday, the main swarming took place past some trees. Camera work was a challenge (i.e., handheld), but the direction and sweep are interesting.

Video note: The video was taken on Friday, 2 March 2012, on my old Sony digital-8 camcorder; digital footage was captured and edited in Pinnacle Studio 12; and a mp4 file was converted to Flash by DVDVideoSoft's free converter.
