I apologize now for my rudeness in not introducing myself, and for not getting his name either. But I would like to offer a sincere thanks to that gentleman. A few photos, for those interested; http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/360483727_bsJz2-L.jpg http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/360483738_W4JMD-L.jpg http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/360483810_DXDYR-L.jpg http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/360484473_sAV2X-L.jpg http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/360484521_iNUxU-L.jpg http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/360484550_HzsNQ-L.jpg I thought that I was taking a photo of Canadian Geese landing until I looked closer ... In the mix was a Graylag and a white goose (not sure - snow goose?) http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/360495314_2kih7-L.jpg One last side note ... I watched these Chinese Geese come in and rest at the boat ramp parking lot next to the Naval Reserve Center on Alcoa Highway, in Knoxville.
