Yesterday I saw a flock of maybe 100+ snow geese fly over. They were heading west toward Granger Lake, but I suspect they were looking for former corn fields rather than water.
This was the first time I saw any since moving to Texas, but I used to see them in Pennsylvania this time of year and recognized them easily. There they came in waves, 500 to 1,000 at a time.
The percentage of blue phase individuals was a few percent, same as in Pennsylvania.
(PS: Sue Ann reports that she saw and heard some last week as well, which was a welcome surprise.)
