Corey Cordray and myself made the 2 hour drive over to Goose Pond this afternoon in hope of getting some nice photos. It was my first Goose Pond experience and I'll not soon forget it! The ducks were certainly there but they were hiding WAYYY back in the marshes and when you tried to approach they would swim off or fly out before you were even close to getting good shots. I did manage a few decent shots of some divers and sprigs, but even with a 400mm lens, I couldn't get that REALLY tight shot that I was hoping for.
The entire property is holding water..... it's like the prairie pothole region, only it's in Indiana! The highlight is the spectacular show that the sandhills put on for us. Simply amazing sight watching thousand upon thousand hop around from marsh to marsh. They were a little more cooperative in letting us get somewhat close for some good photos. Here's what I was able to capture..... out of 377 photos taken, I saved about 50 that were in focus and decent.....these are some of those. My favorite oddly enough will be the black and white of the geese and the old homestead in the background... It framed up beautiful as the flock sailed by!
What an incredible property acquisition for the Hoosier hunters and outdoorsmen! Goose Pond is incredible!!!! Anyway........ enjoy!
