    A funny thing happened...

    .... on the way to prison this morning - thousands and thousands of Canada geese on the prison lake and adjacent land! Both shot with the FE370. First one is a 2-frame pano.



    .... and some American Coots

    Re: A funny thing happened...

    In recent news.. Canada has taken to sending flocks of geese to "hang out" outside of American prisons. This practice is Canada's way of helping their Amerixan cousin's by increasing the amount of guards around each facility. As you all know Canadian Geese are vicious animals that will bite anything that comes near them and/or their nests/babies. These "prison geese" are now in talks with the American Coots" for a training camp on how to enforce the prison standards.

    canada geese are name after a person, not the country. No such thing as CANADIAN GEESE

    Must be a white collar prison if they allow cameras and inmates to leave
