Oh Mr ZOOMeeeeeee........................I will share the educational part of this post with my grandchildren as I am sure the visuals will make it quite a memorable experience  Very well presented with pleasing color balance and crisp clean files of the snow birds
Always a pleasure to help edukate the young ones, Karl  I had mixed success with the Snow Gooses. I'm sure time of day and lighting played a big roll in that but some shots were serious disasters while some, like these, came out better than expected.
You sure took great advantage of the sandhill stage, those look so well with the surrounding colors and I do like how the raised area they were shot on lends nicely to the dropped and distant BG giving a great deal of depth and a very pleasing BG warmth. I like the framing on the last shot and as a nit it might be a titch light compared to the other perfect ones
Splendid and I enjoyed all of them!

After a couple of days out there I noticed there were usually a couple of small groups of SHCs walking these banks. I decided to risk losing some time, set up the tripod during a good time of day to take advantage of the light and waited them out. I was rewarded with a couple of good walk-by shooting sessions. Nearly full frame with the 500. The TC would have clipped them they were so close. It's moments like these that make trips like this worth while and glad you enjoyed the results!
The last one was shot with the camera in vertical mode - it was too close to fit into the frame in landscape mode - I hate it when that happens
