middle creek wildlife management area

I know it's been a long time since I've shared much here. I'll try to be better about that.
Lot's of things to share but I'll save that for another time.

This installment is about a wonderful visit to Middle Creek this past weekend.
A very good friend, Sharon Nunan and I have both wanted to visit so we did! The Snow Geese ( and various other water fowl) use Middle Creek as a resting place on their migration and the numbers are astounding. The weekend I was there Snow Geese were estimated at 60,000 (!) and Tundra Swans around the 3,500 range.
From what I gathered that was the best time to visit and see the largest numbers of birds. We were not disappointed.  It was amazing.
The weather was just right, hovering in the high 50's and the sky clear and blue.
So without further delay I'll share my photo's of my visit .
