From last weeks trip to the refuge. Ross’s geese hanging out at the pond.

Very well done Jim! It's still so cool to see that mass of geese flying in. It's also nice watching later when they are just swimming around. Very interesting!

Snow geese. that blast off at the end is incredible. You are on the Pacific flyway, is this part of the migration?

Thanks Ben, yes these are migrating birds. They winter in the Central Valley. This group averages somewhere around 10 to 12 thousand a year locally.
