A day for Snow Geese!
I counted seven hi-flyer flocks across an hour in midday ... 6 of the 7 were
Snow Geese.
Here is an odd occurrence in midday over Fishkill: A V-flock of Snow Geese
was heading SW while a V-flock of Canadas was heading due south. It looked
like a collision would occur and it did. They flew into each other's path,
but deftly merged into one large flock (not a V) with not a feather ruffled ...
they flew on for another 30 seconds, before separating again and going their
own way. For a full half-minute, there was one large flock of mixed geese;
never saw that before.

We, too, had Snow Geese fly over, at around 1pm today. 3 flocks of 200, 150,
and 75 each, heading due south.

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Snow Geese over Hannacroix
A flock of about 70 Snow Geese were seen flying low, WSW, over our yard this
morning - that’s mid-way between Coxsackie and Greenville (Hannacroix postal
route) – and they were headed in the Greenville direction.
