 At the arboretum Saturday morning. I found a lot of trees and flowers, but the geese were the only wildlife. They're quite wild and skittish. They were content as long as I stayed about 75 feet away and used the big lens (with the 1.4x), but as soon as we tried to get a bit closer they all went down the hill, yelling at us all the way.
Oh, and they really were eating the berries!
