Is that snow?

Is that snow or snow geese? On Gretchen's last spring break we went to Pennsylvania to see her mom and sister. One day we went with Peg, Priscilla, Phil and Jon to the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. It is on the Eastern Migration Route of snow geese. Twenty to forty thousand snow geese arrive daily to feed and rest before taking wing once again on their northern journey. The birds literally cover a field like snow and move from one end to the other feeding. Then they all take off at once and move to another field. The pattern continues until dusk when they move to the lake to sleep. The next day they are gone and more geese arrive taking their place; pausing to rest and feed on their journey.

There was cause for many toasts on this trip. Peg is doing great as she approaches her 93rd birthday! Matt passed his state boards and is officially a dentist and in this photo we were raising a class for Liz's birthday while eating dinner at The Westy in Hamburg. It was a great trip. Thanks Pris and Phil for you hospitality. We appreciate you opening your home to us!
