Close Formation: Snow Geese

Geese in flight, near the ground, can be pretty chaotic. The ordered “V” formation of their long distance flights breaks up on approach, or never forms if the flight is only from one field to the next. It takes time for Snow Geese to sort themselves out behind a leader into their classic V with one long and one short arm. Still, every once in a while, more often than you might thing, you find a single pair, like this one, in perfect draft formation.
