Snow
Geese on
Nebraska's Platte River
I
was equally impressed with the large number of Snow Geese
that were in
the area. Their populations have exploded, thanks to all
the corn out there (the same reason there are so many cranes).
While it is very impressive, it is also causing problems.
There are so many geese that they are out-competing
the cranes for the corn, so the cranes are not able to
fatten as well for the next leg of their long migration
to the north of Canada.
