We live about 30 minutes south of Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area and every year, at the end of the winter, it's a resting point for snow geese in their annual migration.
It was a nice day today so we decided to check it out. I think there were around 80,000 geese there.
While we were walking along the trail toward the lake, the geese in the field decided to take off for the lake. I turned my camera on to video mode to take a short movie - so sorry for my OMG comments. I was totally blown away by the noise of thousands of geese flying right over my head (and a little worried about poop)!
Certainly not as exciting but I finished the spring mare and foal folk art painting I was working on in the post below. I think I will put it up for sale on the PFATT Marketplace later this week.
