Snow Geese Sightings

Last year we had some noisy birds stop on their migration path. They sounded much like Canada geese but they didn't look anything like that type of goose. We later learned that they are snow geese. They are noisy, but very pretty. From a distance a large flock can resemble moving snow on the ground.

We had a couple different groups fly past our house and it was mesmerizing to watch them:

 



(The video might be sound only for some reason. You can hear the geese best after the siren passes.)


A few days later I was running an errand and saw another flock of snow geese on the ground enjoying a meal from the freshly turned earth.


It's been amazing to observe these animals the last couple years.
