Geese!

On Saturday, my dad drove friend Harry Branson and I to Middle Creek Reservoir in Lancaster County to see the snow goose migration.

He and Harry are photographers and a friend of Harry's recommended it as a popular event for photography. This is what we saw when we got there:


It was a stunning sight. My dad shot the video and that's me on the audio, pointing out how incredible it is. The video focuses on the lake, but while that was going on, armadas of geese were flying in from overhead, layered at various altitudes.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission estimated that the number of snow geese in the area two days earlier was 100,000.
