A gaggle of geese

This was in Crystal Springs Lake, Eastmoreland, Southeast Portland

The ducks, geese and ravens were not shy at all. We had a great time walking and bird gazing, such a peaceful place to roam on a chilly January afternoon.

They were just in a V shape before I hit my camera. Do you know why they fly in V shape when they are migrating? Based on my research there are 2 benefits of the V formation. First for energy conservation and second is to keep track of every bird in the group. This is just a little of info sharing about geese.
