Snow Geese in PA
I've never before seen snow geese. I've heard of them but this was a unique experience. As I drove along Rt. 248 near Wilson, PA, I saw ahead a field that looked like it was covered with snow, but as I drove closer, I saw it was all geese. This was just before Christmas 2014, maybe the 23rd or 24th. I stopped and turned around to try to get pictures but the highway is two lane and very busy -- to dangerous to stop for very long. I pulled into the parking lot of an old steel mill but I was still too far off to get a decent picture. And by this time the bulk of the flock of thousands of birds were taking flight. I drove back along the road and pulled off just opposite some of the remaining flock and got the picture below. I almost got stuck in the mud! But at least I got a picture of some of these beautiful birds.
