Thanksgiving sunset, tundra swan snow goose at DuBois Reservoir


While going to my house from my girlfriend Brooke's house for Thanksgiving dinner, I noticed that the sky was looking exceptionally colorful, and that we should take a quick drive on our property. While doing so, I watched my first Thanksgiving sunset, it was a beaut!

wasn't using the right filter for this shot, color is a bit off...


The next day, I had the pleasure of being at work from 4:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., dealing with the black friday hooligans. After that shift, I decided to see if there were any Tundra swans left at the DuBois Reservoir. I came to find that there were two tundra swans left, the immature snow with a big flock of canada geese, some mallards, mixed diver species, and a black duck.
