A guy told me once; the best camera is the one you have with you. Too bad today was a ****ty one but at least it gives you an idea of what I saw driving back home.

I don't know how many thousands of snow geese there.

But I can tell you one thing for sure - it was breath taking.

About 100km East of Montreal, near the St-Laurence River.

I was not fortunate enough to see a mass landing or take off.
I didn't have time to wait for it. Apparently it's a scene you never forget.

Looks like Canadian geese so my guess is.....

 Snow geese.

There was couples of Canadian geese too. Nothing that impressive.

Btw here's what Canadian geese looks like.

Turds everywhere.  Especially the putting green.

I've seen that in the Toronto area, near Ontario Lake. Worst than dogs and everywhere. Plain discusting.

Hey there fellow (near enough) MTLer.

That is what I like about GH. One minute you can talk about the What should I buy? or Blue vs Brown; and another about geese.

pretty amazing site, I saw somewhere once about these birds in africa they are like the most numerous animals on the planet and it takes hours for a school of them to go buy.  Brown somethings.
