No, these are not statues of snow geese, they are actual snow geese.  Greater Snow Geese to be exact.  They almost look too perfect, don’t they?  In Spring the snow geese travel from points along the East coast as far south as South Carolina and make their way to the Arctic where they breed.  They can spend up to 12 hours per day feeding in Spring to build up fat reserves for migration.  When migrating, they can fly at altitudes of up to 7,500 feet. When preparing to land, they may tumble to lose height in what has been described as a “falling leaf” maneuver.  Over the weekend, we saw thousands of snow geese coming to join the flock from a very high altitude.  The way that the sun was shining on them, they looked like glitter falling from heaven.
