MN Winter Geese

First time video post which is almost black and white due to the winter snow. My goal was not to make the geese fly as I was at 150 ft using zoom but when they took off I just went for it. Open for suggestions and FYI that music was my wifes choice! Thanks for any input.

Here's an alternate music track for the bird chase scene:
Sorry, just came to mind as they were obviously spooked by the Mavic, especially by the third time they scattered... Using drones (carefully with coordination from ATC) to clear birds from airport runways may become a great service, but for as beautiful as they may look up close like that, be careful with how you impact your
subjects when doing wildlife photography.

It was nice camerawork though, very smooth and good pans! But always consider your affect on wildlife - just once wont make a difference, but if they get spooked a lot, it can affect their feeding and birds are on a tight weight to calorie budget, especially in winter. Above all, never do low flyovers over nesting bird as loss of young can result, plus its against Federal law under the migratory bird treaty act.
