Snow Geese at Chautauqua NWR.3

Mike Warner

We estimated that there were about 2,000 Snow Geese in this group of them on Lake Chautauqua, with more coming in.  The few darker birds mixed in are the Blue Morph of the species.  Here the entire group rose up out of the water and moved about 100 yards closer to us.

More information about our journey to view the migrating waterfowl there can be found HERE.
