RARE... RARE birds ... Pink Footed Geese

These super uncommon geese arrived to the Saanich Peninsula a few days ago.  Avid birders are flocking out to Central Saanich to get a glimpse of these birds that hail from Iceland!  Why they are here is quite a matter of speculation ... as they both declined to be interviewed  :))  .. I was happy to get to see them at all today , and want to thank Tom Michell and Ann Nightingale  for directing me to these rarities.  As I understand  this is only the second ever sighting of these geese on the Pacific Coast ... Remarkable!  
***  NOTE .. sorry about the image quality but 2 hours watching these birds from a long ways off and attempting to photograph them basically towards the afternoon sun.. I was happy to get anything recognizable.  If they stick around at all..I'll try for better shots !
