Canada Geese are a nuisance. It is not the fault of Canada Geese that they have become a trash bird. Blame human intervention in the form of breeding programs so that there would be more to hunt. Blame human intervention in the form of breeding programs so that there would be more to hunt. That is really a shame.

Sunday morning would therefore be devoted to hunting down Chen rossii so I could happily check it off of my Queens checklist …either that or it was all just an excuse to go birding on both mornings of a weekend! And the West Pond was covered with Snow Geese , with well over 1,500 birds all around the edges.

At the snowy Danube riverbank, we are waiting for geese to come to their roost inside the mostly submerged island. A shot or two coming from the opposite bank, but they do not sound like geese shooting – more like boar hunting. A goose hunt sounds like a WWII battle. warns me of two locally rare Bean Geese.

Near the sand dunes, the first “V” made out of a hundred or so Greater White-fronted Geese , They spend the night on the water and in the morning they spread over arable fields to forage; but most of them do so at the crack of dawn and these 100 must have overslept. After that, birds gradually thin out and winter drowsiness overtakes me.

It’s the boar hunting season. We are approaching a large mudbar with some more Dalmatian Pelicans… and a flock of geese… dark, round-headed and short-billed, elongated white blaze on their faces – threatened and declining Lesser White-fronted Geese ! We started from the village at, perhaps 50 m a.s.l.

For all that, though, migration here is still largely a water-based show, with the most spectacular signs of springs coming in the forms of ducks, geese, and swans. Several locations in the state, most notably Freezeout Lake, are graced with epic spring migrations of Snow Geese and Tundra Swans as they return north along the Pacific Flyway.

The day before the marmot encounter, I spotted an American Robin on my lawn; the night before that, the distinctive sound of a small flock of Snow Geese sounded from the sky above my apartment, heading north. For yes, it is that time again. The one thing that a traditional nature documentary often lacks is real characters, to its detriment.
