On our hike today we were rewarded with so many spring sites! First huge flocks of red-wing blackbirds chirped at our passing, there were hundreds hanging out in trees and bushes. Then, the main reason for our hike, a man made flooded area especially for water fowl, mostly still frozen, hundreds of ducks and canadian geese were taking off, flying around and landing again. We probably watched for 45 minutes, it was great. As we were leaving, about a 2 mile walk from where we parked, hundreds of snow geese flew in layers of vees overhead calling and calling. Might be my favorite thing in nature to see all of those layers of snow geese! Way cool!
