Source Description: A feeding flock of Snow Geese take flight after being scared from the cornfield at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. Often it’s a coyote that spooks them or other predators. While not equal in flock size to the morning fly out, these “fright flights” are an impressive spectacle in and of themselves.
FMWP Description: The Canadian geese should be returning soon, along with the Canadian geese droppings everywhere. Yuck.

One Response to “Fright Flight of the Snow Geese”
The snow geese are killing the duck population numbers. They take over the breeding areas in the upper midwest, and Canada, and the ducks are left with no place to breed. The geese also will wipeout food sources overnight. I’m convinced it’s one of the main reasons our duck hunting here in Arkansas has been so much worse ever since around 2000. Thankfully they’ve opened up the goose season around here after duck season and made it more liberal. I’ve got some buddies going tomorrow with electronic callers and unplugged guns.
