Snow Geese

Tom & Susan Soniville #34473 We were between Nampa and Marsing when we saw large flocks of snow geese overhead. Drove to the south end of Lake Lowell and found a couple thousand of them on the water or coming in. Seems early. Tom Soniville -- Tom Soniville Boise. North End

Ken Miracle #34474 They come through going south every fall and some hang around longer than others. A few are reported around Treasure Valley all winter. I have photographs of large flocks in mid November going back several years including some from yesterday :-) On Nov 20, 2022, at 2:45 PM, Tom & Susan Soniville <tomnsueid@...> wrote: We were between Nampa and Marsing when we saw large flocks of snow geese overhead.

Heidi Ware Carlisle #34476 Weighing in on the Snow Geese, I was at the Idaho Bird Conservation Partnership meeting this week and we were hearing from refuge managers that this is definitely higher numbers/longer duration than used to be normal. In recent years we've had a fairly large flock on Lake Lowell, but they reported that this year the numbers are rivalling or surpassing what we usually see at Fort Boise WMA in the spring! Normally we have some decent fall migration, fewer in winter, and tons in spring. So, seeing this many in fall is noteworthy for sure Heidi she/her toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Sun, Nov 20, 2022 at 2:58 PM Ken Miracle via groups.io <chukar28=icloud.com@groups.io> wrote: They come through going south every fall and some hang around longer than others.

Denise Hughes #34477 A few days ago I was at Deer Flat lower dam about an hour before sunset. Several waves of snow geese flew over towards the snake river. The waves of geese lasted about 20+ minutes and at one point every where I looked in the sky I saw geese. It was a heartwarming sight!

Denise Hughes #34478 There was about 850 snow geese on CJ Strike today. I can’t remember ever seeing snow geese on this reservoir.
