Wow That's A Lot Of Birds!

After Annie's doctor appointment this morning (She has an ear infection and a cough and cold) we decided to go feed the ducks and geese at the neighborhood pond! It was Annie's first time going, and I figured it would brighten her day. So we got some old bread at home and headed over to the pond. The birds were all over on the other side of the pond, but all we had to do was take one piece of bread out and they started a mad dash to get the first piece! I only saw maybe 7 ducks, so I figured they would all get enough bread. But as I started to feed them......I hear a loud honking sound...and like a little army marching over....about 10 white geese come waddling from out behind some trees across the pond and down into the water. They were loud! I got my camera out and starting filming them swimming and some others coming closer to feed and then all the geese that were swimming over started flying over! I have never seen tame birds in a pond fly! It was very scary! I thought they were gonna fly over the fence and land on poor little Annie! And all I could hear in the back of my head was "The Imperial March" song that plays when Darth Vader from Star Wars comes in the scene. I got video of it, but I didn't realize it was zoomed in all the way, so you don't get to see ALL of them! And I was so scared by the amount of birds flying towards us that I didn't even get all of the ones that were really close! But all in all, we had fun. Annie enjoyed pointing at them and doing her really fast laugh! Enjoy!
