Hi everyone, After seeing eBird reports yesterday, I went to check out a flock of snow geese at Fenner Rd, which is near Milligan Station but on the east side of Rt 34B. There are literally thousands of snow geese in the fields north of Fenner Rd, mostly white morph but a few blue morphs mixed in. I didn't see any Ross' geese but I couldn't reliably scan such a huge flock. If anyone wants to try their luck or wants to tally large numbers of birds at once, it is quite a neat sight to see. I guessed 5,000 geese but will gladly revise this number if there are folks who can judge better from the photos on my eBird checklist:
