Brant in Duluth

[mcary]

There has been a brant in Duluth for about the past week. I'm finally down to a shorter cast and can actually manage my camera fairly well. I went down looking for the bird this afternoon and happened to get a few decent shots. Here are a few of them.

Great shots Mike!....not alot of brants around these days!...I used to see flocks of them in my duck/goose hunting days in the mid 70's....their calls are high pitched and unmistakeable from other geese....

Nice shots of a handsome bird, Mike!

Very nice! I've only seen one of those, and that was about 25 years ago. Way to go!

2 and 3 gave you some beautiful backgrounds. Its been years since I've seen one of these. Actually the very first goose I shot 35 years ago was a Brandt.

Great shots of a great opportunity. I read about that brant on the MOU.

I've never seen one. Didn't even know they were around here at all. Thanks for sharing. I really like #3.
