Snow Geese, off the beaten flyway, in Canon City


I found this adult and juvenile Snow Geese feeding in a previous planted corn field that has been tilled under. It was being watered so both insects and seeds were drawing not just these guys but hundreds of American Crows (one in pic), about a hundred Canada Geese plus 8 Greater White-fronted Geese (first of the season). Snow Geese are rare here as we are right up against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, away from their usual flyway haunts. SeEtta
