Enormous Raft of Snow Geese - Cayuga Lake - February 20, 2012

As I was driving along the west side of Cayuga Lake last week, I could see what looked like a huge snow squall off in the distance. But it wasn't cold enough to be snowing. As I went further south, it became obvious that it was an enormous raft of Snow Geese covering about a 1/2 mile stretch of sky from the water level up to 150-200 feet- I'd estimate 2000-3000+ birds. Unfortunately by the time I got to a clearing in the trees where I could get a shot, they had all set down on the water in a mile long ribbon of white. What an amazing sight that was!!
