Cap-Tourmente National Wildlife Area is an amazing site for observing snow geese migration. The reserve officially opens its gates next week however this didn't stop the geese nor their admirers from enjoying this tidal marsh along the St-Lawrence. Thousands of geese put on an energetic show; vertical take-offs, gregarious honking, swirling overhead and full-flap landings. Paulette and I come here every year drawn by their beauty, grace and nomadic drive and leave serene and at peace.

Lovely photos as always. But knowing the significance of the geese to you both and your annual pilgrimage to see them makes the photos more moving still. Denis
