Snow Geese ...

It is Snow Geese time again. They started arriving about two weeks ago. So far about 1200 have arrived. We usually get about 10,000 by the time all the geese have arrived. It is such an amazing sight to see all of these geese. I just love going out to the "Rez" and watching them. They are very loud, honking and calling to each other, I presume. They seem to have leaders and followers, much like the rest of us. They stay in groups, perhaps families. They have a time table. They wake in the fields around 10:00 a.m. They fly and land on the ice and water around 11:00 a.m. Then they bob around, sometimes take a short flight, and land and bob around again. Then around 5:30 p.m. they start leaving the water to go back to the fields. So facinating. Birds of a feather... flock together.











I hope you enjoy this peek at our Snow Geese. Happy February!

I like the one where you can see the reflection of the trees on the water. I also like the one that some geese are flying and some are on the ice. Pretty pics, I like em'.
