Sight and Sound

This time of year the fields around home are host to thousands of Snow Geese and Tundra Swans. Currently the estimate at Middle Creek is 110,000 Snow Geese and 3000+ Tundra Swans.  They  feed on the remnants of last years corn and other juicy stuff. The sounds they make even late into the night are a wonderful noise. Last night around 7pm as the sun was setting I could see 100's flying around at the top end of the yard. I can't see the fields at back due to the top of the yard being the highest point and the fields fall away to the South. When I crept through the trees the fields were full of both the Swans and the Geese. Wonderful spectacle.

Snow Geese, can you see the Ross's Goose?
