I've never seen those guys Chris - quite the nice looking geese. I do like the inflight shots but #4 is pretty good too - we're not getting much of that here in Colorado this week
Happy New Year Chris! Nice bird shots. You must hang out at a widgeon factory. Lots of them there. That last one is indeed a keeper. Very well exposed.
Super shots Chris. Love that last one even though not sure what species of wheedled critter you have in Holland.
So how does one decide if they live in Holland or The Netherlands? I'm not sure their is another discreet country with two different names in concurrent use.

Thank you Jim. Lots of bad weather over here as well.
Looks like I will get wet at midnight.

Thank you Ken.
I will try to get back there in one of the upcoming weekends.

Thank you Eric. I still have to look the first one up.
I think "The Netherlands" is more official then "Holland". Unless you live in a country where "Holland" is more common to use.
Funny thing is we use both names as well. "Holland" and "Nederland". Again, "Nederland" is more official as we have NL on our number plates.
However, at the end of the journey both names will get you home.

Eric, I left out the "Dutch" thing to keep it simple.
I live now more years in the Netherlands than I did in Switzerland. I'm feeling more Dutch than anything else.
Of course, during international soccer times friends will teas me what side I'm on.
