A snow goose taking off with mountains in the background.

Climb-out

Delta, British Columbia

An adult greater snow goose lifts off from a farmer's field and climbs steeply into the sky, just high enough to keep the Vancouver skyline out of the picture. Those shapes in the distance aren't clouds at all; they're actually the Coast Mountains, a north-south range that starts near the international border with the US and extends all the way to Yukon and the Alaska Panhandle. The geese were a chance encounter near the George C. Reifel Bird Sanctuary, where they were hanging out by the thousands on an early spring afternoon.
