Snow Geese

Snow and strong northwest winds predicted for today, and the forecast was right. With the prediction of subzero temps tomorrow morning looks like this could be the end. 100,000 geese at Carlson and 200,000 at Lukach. We set up in O. Lien's just west of Lukach, had near 100,000 snows in it the last night.

Large flocks of snows came, but their destination was a stubble field next to the pea field we were in; they were extremely low into the wind but were on a flight path just outside our decoys. We got some shots in the decoys early but had to move outside as the morning went on. Also shot several with the wind returning to water.

Monte-18 snows Me-13 snows, 2 mallard drakes.
