Every winter, hundreds of waterfowl fly into the Sacramento valley. Snow Geese, swans, ducks, and cranes crowd the wetlands and create a visually stunning sight. It is always exciting to head out to see where the birds are. It is interesting for me to go people watching as the people are bird watching.
I was lucky enough to spend some time shooting video of the annual Snow Goose Festival. I hung out with a group that was on a field trip at the Llano Seco viewing platform. It was great to have video to use the sounds of the birds to add to the experience.
