Snow geese

IN LATE WINTER/EARLY SPRING, THE GREATER SNOW GEESE POPULATION MAKES AN ANNUAL MIGRATION TO BREEDING GROUNDS IN THE CANADIAN ARCTIC. THE SNOW GEESE TRAVEL FROM COASTAL AREAS IN THE MID-ATLANTIC UNITED STATES, AND MAKE A FEW STOPOVERS ALONG THE WAY. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO WITNESS THIS SPECTACLE WHICH BRINGS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BIRDS THROUGH SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA.
