I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
Let it Snow, Snow Geese that is!
My long holiday weekend got off to a great start yesterday, hubby and I went to Bombay Hook Wildlife refuge in Delaware. The sky was beautiful, temps were in the low 50's a perfect day to do the wildlife drive. On the road into the wildlife refuge we were treated with possibly a thousand or more Snow Geese landing in the field next to the road.

The adult Snow Geese is white with black primaries which is visible in flight.
The Snow Geese winter in fields and marshes of the US.

I pull over off the road and we watched as more and more Snow Geese landed in the field next to the road. Their sounds getting louder and louder
After they land the Snow Geese look like a blanket of snow covering the ground.

Let it Snow, let it Snow Geese!

Seeing the Snow Geese was the highlight of the day, even though we saw many sparrows, bluebirds, ducks, eagles, herons, swans and hawks.

Widok niesamowity i wyobrażam sobie dźwięki przez nich wydawane. Wspaniałe przeżycie. Pozdrawiam.
View amazing and I imagine they sound issued. A great experience. Yours.
That must be awesome to see so many all at once. I believe they can be very noisy. Do they do any damage to the fields?
Wow, they sure make for a dramatic appearance. Wonderful shots! I've never heard of snow geese before and I enjoyed learning about them. :)
What a gorgeous sight - all those snow geese. Just beautiful!
Beautiful the Snow Geese. You have an eye for them.
That would be a site to see . . . loved this Eileen!
What a lovely sight! They look so impressive. We have more snow here, no Snow Geese though ;-)
Lovely photos of the pretty birds in your garden in the last post and those beautiful Pelicans too.
They are "Snow White".
I'd say "let it Snow!" too!
HI Eileen...Wow what an awesome sight!! I can't imagine the noise volume there!!
Hard to imagine there would be so many birds, I have never seen anything like that!! They are gorgeous, wonderful shots!!

I noticed a few snow geese in Lake Ontario last week. But I have not seen so many in one place.
Thank you for sharing your awesome pictures!!

My goodness, there's just soooo many! Great shots, Eileen
I love your geese. When I lived close to Houston they used to blanket the rice fields certain times of year during their migration.
One of these days we're going to have to take off to Bombay Hook. I always enjoy your fabulous photos from there Eileen. The sight of all those geese must have been a joy!
What an amazing sight. We've seen them in the thousands too east of here at Freeze Out Lake. Usually it is March when they pass through. Gorgeous photos.
Wow! That's a lot of snow geese! I've heard some flying over our property a few times in the past couple weeks. I love it :)
what a sight! Lovely photos!

Wow! Amazing photos-and I was happy when I saw six Snow Geese!
These are great, I like looking at the geese from their level.
Just amazing photos that you captured, Continue enjoying your extended weekend!
That is amazing! I've never seen these before but we are hoping to do a little bird watching on the Gulf coast tomorrow! Hugs!
Love these birds!!
Seeing the birds in the field must have been amazing. Have had flocks of redpolls the last few days. Valerie
A nice capture of so many snow geese together. I haven't tried to identify the bird in my mosaic this week but likely you know - lots of them in Mexico.
Judith
Wonderful shots. Real cool place with so many birds all around.
Loved this. :-)
What a wonderful show! Beautiful pictures.
What a delightful sight the snow geese are, so beautiful. I love seeing them all in a line on the ground.
I've read about these birds - and even saw one in the UK (but it was an escaped captive bird!) - I'd love to see some flocks of geese again.

oh my what a moment; seeing all those snow-geese. Lovely that you two share the common interest in nature and can plan your outings together like you do. I also love the little bird in your header covered in snow; gee they do tough
Τhe Snow Geese is the highlight of my trips on blogs today!
Great photos!
Have a happy week!
WOW! It really is snowing snow geese! Terrific! I love seeing what refuge you are visiting.
Great pictures / collages showing of snow geese. Wish you a good new week :) Hanne Bente
Such beautiful geese and SO many! It's wonderful to see them in flight and your captures are terrific as always! Hope you have a great week, Eileen!!
You took some great shots of the snow geese. It's amazing how many of them you saw.
I have never seen snow geese in such large numbers. Here I see them flying and swimming with Canada geese. Neat to see so many together!
Awesome, Eileen!
What a great captures of the Snow Geese and there are so many...so beautiful.
Have a nice week and warm greetings from Holland,
Anna

Wow, you got so close and got many angles!
