3000 Snow Geese Boone Co.

[Clayton Will]

There are 3000 Snow Geese feeding in a field two miles North of Madrid, Boone Co. on the West side of Highway 17. They are not real far from the road and small flights from the South are joining them.

Thousands and thousands of Snow Geese are flying over Ogden and seen from our house windows. There have also been hundreds stopping in crop fields adjacent to Harrier Marsh WMA, along US highways 30 and 169.

Cone March WMA outside of Conesville yesterday afternoon/evening had tens of thousands Greater White-Fronted Geese, along with some Snow Geese and at least 2 Ross's Geese and a few Cackling Geese also mixed in with the Canada Geese. Trumpeter Swans in the 500 range, and at least one Tundra Swan mixed in. Sandhill Cranes, Killdeer, and more Red-Winged Blackbirds (with some Rusty Blackbirds, Brown-Headed Cowbirds, and Common Grackles mixed in) than I have ever seen - conservative estimate of 100,000. Every tree was full at dusk (see photos). I also enjoyed a gorgeous sunset with a family of muskrats playing in the water nearby.

In community and birdy joy,

Cat
