Brent Geese - NX30 @ 18-55 III - 1080P Still Grabs

I hope I identified these birds properly.

They are residents of Jamaica Bay, NYC.

Always around the shoreline, they are very cautious of humans, much more than the other species on the beach.

The extended cold weather in NYC has limited their access to nature's food and they were willing to let me get near them with my NX30 with some crackers.

Usually the area's seagulls would mob any food thrown toward the birds of all types but this group of Brent Geese stayed grouped together, keeping the seagulls hovering above them but not brave enough to dive down toward the crackers near the bills of the geese. As a result I was able to get close to them with my NX30 upside down, near the ground, on my monopod, and shooting 1080P at ISO100 at 1/1600 sec.

They are not as animated as the gulls so I decided just to post three Still Frame Grabs that best depict the geese as I encountered them. Some PP in CS4:

Looking forward to my NX500's 4K but in the meantime the NX30's 1080P is no slouch, imo.
