Snow Geese at Middlecreek

My friend Janet called last Sunday morning to ask if I'd like to view the snow geese on their migration stop at Middlecreek Wildlife Management Area. In the spirit of, "Yes Man", I went along.

Our guess at the lake's goose population was approximately correct, (55,000 snow geese estimated 2/22/'12 per the Pennsylvania Game Commission's web site), plus a number of longer-necked tundra swans, (which kept to themselves).

Janet noticed one of the geese was banded with a wide yellow collar. Another appeared to have a broken wing, (yet lifted with the rest when the flock decided to move).

Later we went back to Janet's place and roasted a chicken.
