Well, I don’t have a method for estimating, so I could be very, very wrong!

The snow geese that I also saw today were up along Rt 89 not far
The snow geese that I also saw today were up along Rt 89 not far from
Wolffy's Grill and there must have been closer to 50,000 between those
rafting on the lake and those flying overhead! Amazing!

This afternoon, between 4:30 and 5:30 pm, I saw thousands of snow geese flying
south, group after group. I estimate 2,000 to 4,000 but it was extremely
difficult to count!
This was from Sheffield Road, the Ithaca/Enfield town line and about ¼ mile
north of Rt. 79.
I also quite a few Vs of
Snow Geese flying south over Ithaca - hundreds.

During the last hour, about 1,000 Canada and 300 Snow Geese flew over my head
and out of the basin in what looked like determined southbound migration. The
high hilltops (circa 1900 feet) seemed to scrape the cloud ceiling earlier, but
perhaps it is lifting enough to embolden migrants...
