Ahhh, much the same tactics that I myself use. People do point and laugh at me when it's in public. I'm guessing that's due to the corn husk tossing. I'm going to assume they're more successful..... 😢 Great shot, Amy.

That is madness. Who doesnt love a good corn husk toss?? Thanks, Neil!

Fantastic photo, Amy. 👍🏼 There certainly are quite a few of them there.

Thanks, Audrey! This was taken at one of the places they winter, so for a few months there are thousands of crane and snow geese mingling. It is spectacular.
