Canada geese take over the skies of Colorado

Anyone care to count them? Canada geese come by the tens (hundreds?) of thousands to the state in the winter and can become kind of overwhelming. Efforts have been made to discourage them from taking over our parks but they have proven to be quite happy hanging out in urban and suburban areas. It can be kind of annoying as oftentimes walking is like going through an extraordinarily dense minefield of poop and you just can’t miss it. I do my best to ignore them and rarely take pictures of them but this shot of a flock dominating the sky was kind of fun. Just don’t look up when they are overhead!
