Canada Geese in Flight

Two Canada geese in flight, descending with cupped wings. I was set up near the shore of a pond to photograph incoming waterfowl and normally I like to have the birds descending toward me. There was no wind on this morning so the ducks and geese were landing from every direction. I took three frames as the two geese set their wings and glided to the water. This photo was unique because the closest goose turned its head in my direction and its mouth was open as it called.
100-400 lens at 350mm, 1/1600 second at f5.6, set manually, ISO 400, handheld.
