Snow Geese fly south in the Fall, and a week ago some passed by the refuge. There were only a few hundred of them, not as many as during Spring migration.

Snow Geese, a closer look.
There was a group of about ten Snow Geese flying in apparent perfect formation.

But, somehow something happened.
Note one head pointing downward. “Oops, I dropped my lunch.”
Great capure of the migration of these beautiful birds.

Indeed, Dries. In the state next door, Pennsylvania, sometimes hundreds of thousands of Snow Geese can be seen during their migration. That would be really awesome to behold.

Great capture, Hien. I thought of you this morning. I was at the coast and saw a pair of ducks. They were smaller than Mallards, perhaps Wood Ducks. But they swam away before I could change lenses. Your ability to get these birds on film is amazing.

Those Wood Ducks would have been beautiful to photograph. Maybe next time …

Oh how wonderful to see the snow geese in their migration, Hien. Your photos capture this flock well. Often they’re so high it’s difficult to see them this well. Fun joke at the end, too, gave me a smile.

We are spoiled here as Snow Geese come twice yearly as they migrate North or South. However, they stay closer to the shore and many don’t ever see them.

It must be great to see these birds! I would love to see them. They are visitors to us here in Ireland on the west coast; also on the west coast of Scotland. For now, I make do with Paul Gallico’s book ‘The Snow Goose’.

They are beautiful – I hope I get to see a migration one day, just to hear the cacophony!

Next year I will try to go to a lake in Pennsylvania where hundreds of thousands of Snow Geese land on their way North. Their sound would be something to hear.

Snow Geese visit us, the Montezuma National Wildlife refuge at the north end of Cayuga Lake is a great place to experience the migrations. We live at the lake’s south end.

I’ve been to Montezuma NWR twice in the past five years. As you wrote, it’s a good place to watch migrating birds.
