While in Nebraska last weekend, we were treated to incredible flocks of migrating snow geese. I had never seen anything like this and it was truly awesome. I really don't know how many birds were on this small lake, but where the water disappears is where the snow geese are so packed in that is looks like land. Just amazing.
We stayed for for a half and hour or so and just enjoyed the incredible noise of these birds. There were Snows and Blues and Speckles and Canadians and also a few ducks mixed in.
In the fields within a mile or so of the river there were also thousands of cranes. I suppose this is common place stuff for Nebraskan's along the South Platte River, but for me it was a spectacular show of nature.
