Tonight, the trickle was a flood. We were on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Indian Head Saskatchewan, on our way home from a visit with Kay's parents. On the horizon, I pointed out the cloud of geese heading north. We drove at least ten minutes before coming under the geese. They were snows and it had been non-stop uninterrupted flights. The column was probably 3/4 to a mile wide and I could not see the end to the south or the north. I'm not great at estimating bird numbers, but it was certainly in the several 100's of thousands, if not into the M's. It was a truly amazing sight. I have seen large numbers of snow geese covering fields and lakes and circling overhead to join in but this is a first for me to witness such an incredible magnitude of snows in continuous, straight line flight, on a mission to get north. Gotta love mother nature.
Cheers,
Jack
