Take Off

"If one bird foraging in a flock on the ground suddenly takes off, all other birds will take off immediately after, before they even know what's going on. The one who stays behind may be prey."
~Frans de Waal~

Thanks so much for your comments about my collage of the snow geese taking flight. I read somewhere that the snow geese population is down this year, and we've had a harder time finding them.
