I received this email yesterday. I had forgotten that i put in for this contest

On behalf of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society, I want to congratulate you on a fine showing in the 2009 Great Backyard Bird Count photo contest. Here’s how you placed: People category, second place, glider leading geese

What a great capture. You should have gotten first place...What a capture. Where did you see this? Was it staged? It is so amazing to me. Beautiful blue sky as well..nice...

Congratulations Bob!

No, this is not staged, Maureen and i were at the annual flyover held at the Dunellion airport. In fact they are on their way again heading to Florida.

Geese, huh! Whooping Cranes!!! Great shot, another one I would like to get! We'll have to start watching the website to see when/if they will fly over this year.
