[cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese and a magical moment in the sun

2015-12-20 Thread Sandy Wold
Today, I found myself very fortunate to be looking up just as a glorious
flock of Snow Geese flying high, so high I could not hear them, and flying
southbound.  Hundreds of geese glistened and sparkled like jewels in the
bright sun.  I savored this sight for less than two minutes, until their
angle of reflection changed.  About 200-300 individuals danced through the
sky in a loose but connected formation of V's and v's which rippled about
but stayed connected.  It was nothing less than spectacular!  Seen from
Cascadilla Gorge, Fall Creek this morning around 8:30AM.

[cayugabirds-l] Snow Geese and a magical moment in the sun

And I saw hundreds heading south this afternoon about 3 p.m. just east 
of our house on the east edge of Union Springs village. These were the 
1st I've seen this _FALL_ ... ha, ha ... tomorrow is _WINTER_!
