Pink-Legged Pilgrims

This image was captured at a lake near Houston, Texas. It features two Egyptian geese (Alopochen aegyptiaca) in mid-flight. A larger group had buzzed past, but these two happened to be the ones caught by my lens.

"Egyptian geese were introduced to North America through the exotic pet and ornamental bird trade. Escaped individuals from zoos and private collections established wild populations, especially in states like Texas, Florida, and California." - Microsoft Copilot

"Two Egyptian geese (Alopochen aegyptiaca) soar through a cloudless blue sky, their wings outstretched in mid-flight. The goose on the left is slightly higher and closer to the viewer, its wings lifted upward in a powerful arc, revealing a striking contrast of black-tipped feathers and pale underwings. Its body is mottled with warm browns and creams, and a bold chestnut patch encircles its eye like ceremonial paint. The goose on the right glides lower, its wings more horizontal, suggesting a moment of calm between wingbeats. Both birds have vivid pink legs trailing behind them, adding a splash of unexpected color against the sky’s serene backdrop. Their motion is dynamic yet graceful, as if caught in a sovereign dance above the lake. The image is crisp and vibrant, capturing not just flight, but the poise and personality of these regal waterfowl." - Microsoft Copilot
