Saturday was a phenomenal day at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area! The snow geese were feeding in a field along the tour road which made them very accessible and close! There were snow geese as far as the eye could see and they were very active! Birders, photographers and nature enthusiasts (along with a ton of cars) lined the roadway and the geese did not disappoint! Here’s an image of just a few (!!!) as they took to flight in a mass explosion of wings and feathers!

According to the park staff, the best time to visit Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area during the snow geese migration is either 6:30 AM or 6:30 PM. The geese and swans roost on the lake during the night and so in the morning, you have the opportunity to watch them awaken at sunrise and take off in large numbers to go out to nearby fields to feed for the day. In the evening, the geese and swans return to the lake by the thousands and settle in for the night amidst a flurry of loud honking and flapping wings. Being at the park during migration is an unforgettable experience!

It was great to finally get out to photograph a show over the weekend! The sights, scents, and sounds were so welcoming after being away for a few months! I enjoyed visiting with my friends and seeing the dogs that I love to watch and photograph in the ring! So happy that, for me at least, it’s dog show season again!

This is one of those images that makes me wonder what was happening at the time it was taken. It was at a dog show last year, but I don’t know the person or the dog. Was the dog waiting to go in the ring? Was the boy saying a silent prayer that the dog does well and wins a ribbon? Are they both tired from a long day and just resting? We’ll never know, but it’s an awfully sweet photo of two best friends!
