Canadian geese in large numbers south of town last week here in our western paradise.

Went by McKenzie again this morning not vary many snows......maybe 5,000. But if your into bird watching especially bald eagles you should check it out would guess around 75 to 100 are out there. At one point there were over 40 in one group spread out on the ice having a goose dinner and fighting with each other over what was left. Few of the birds were even locking feet with each other in mid air. Took a few shots with the phone well there and man was it entertaining to watch them.



A couple that were closer to the road.

did my scouting from my desk. check out the NEXRAD radar out of Aberdeen.

Those guys at the weather service have been playing with the geese all week. Think they have been messing with more or less the gain on the radar to really make the flocks pop.

so they didn't all SLIDE WEST this year? weird::::;:cheers

birds are scattered from sask into SD. and I don't think this little front will do much to them as water has opened up even into northern ND

Sunday there were thousands at Grano standing on the ice North side of the bridge.

Actually they were well west of normal. Red is the normal path blue is lake oahe and the blob between them normally would be along the james. The whole roscoe and ipswich area is turning into major staging points now days.
