They’re back!!!  The snow geese and tundra swans have returned to Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area in Pennsylvania.  This is an annual stopping point along their migration route and from mid-February until mid-March, numbers of snow geese as high as 100,000 stop by to pay a visit and roost on the lake.  When I visited, the count was 35,000+ snow geese …. this is a photo of 3 of them!  I tried counting to make sure that the Middle Creek website was accurate with their numbers, but I lost track after about 12,471.  They all started to look alike at that point!  🙂  I love visiting and watching the geese take flight throughout the day!  There is nothing like the sight of 35,000 geese taking off together, 70,000 wings flapping, and WOW the sound is just amazing!  I have a zillion images to look through but this one stood out at first glance.  It appears that the two in the back are playing ‘follow the leader’!
