bathing canada geese

I always thought that birds taking baths was cool to watch. Wheather it's a dirt or waterbath, they usually make quite a display about it. Today I was eating lunch at the Tannery Dam and the geese were going crazy. So I took a few photos, and a video.

Again, my camera is not designed for videography, so bare with me on this.

While watching the geese and mallards, there were several american crows searching for food in the grass on the banks of the dam. I had never even attempted to shoot crows with my camera before. They are so easy to spook and not the least bit curious around people in my experience, so I was happy with the shots that I got with this bird, though I only got a few before the bird flew off. No matter, my camera battery died shortly after.
