Geese on the Move

This time of year means there are flocks of Canadian geese on their way south for the winter.  I happened to come across this group yesterday about 1.5 hours north of the city as they rested in a large puddle in a field, a puddle that probably wasn't there two weeks ago before all the rain we've had recently. There had to be hundreds of birds, just standing or sitting around. When I stepped out of the car to take these pictures, there was a lot of quiet honking going on - not sure if they were talking about me or not?!
