Larry Gibson 2016 C&TS Adventures - Day 6

Unread postby Larry Sullivan » Wed Aug 24, 2016 5:34 am

Another day in Chama, we should see some activity with the two Geese, as well as 315 should get mated back with her tender. Will post pictures as I get them.

Ok - catching up now - some pics from the past several minutes of Goose preparations.

That will end coverage of the Geese, as Larry has some other work to get to back in the yard.

This is a wrap for now, lunch time. May or may not get back in after lunch, but will have more shots off the Nikon coming.
