In three flocks we estimate there was over 8,000 Snow & Ross Geese. This was out at Anahuac NWR, TX The noise when they would all rise up was deafening. Quite a sight!

Great to see all these Snows. Always loved hearing all the calling from the flocks flying over our house and heading South. Thanks for sharing.:)
