molting time

This is a neat one behold the molting goose, the picture was shot way to slow and is blurry but you can still see whats going on here. So every year Canadian geese molt, which is the process of loosing torn and damaged wing feathers and growing new ones, geese will group together and find some water to hide in for a month or so while they do this usually around June to July. It is also neat when they swim with their wings in the lakes, they will see a boat or whatever coming and instead of flying away the paddle furiously and man they can move (I have pics of this for a later date). I am sure this is a stressful time for these birds as they cant cover ground to get more food or to safety. Anyways thought it looked neat I am going to try and get better pictures of them molting this year later on.
