Wow! Very impressive. Around here we have occasional small Vee formations of maybe as many as twenty geese at a time. I've never seen such a huge flock or such an elaborate cotinually changing formation with so many subformations.

Great catch!

Great catch!

Yes, indeed.  But not mine: I was just reporting.

I have been near fields in eastern Ontario where suddenly thousands of snow geese decide to rise up, go for a short flight, and then settle back down again, sometimes in a nearby field. From a mile away the sound is deafening.

i was in a blind before dawn one time when about 20 acres of snow geese decided to mow the newly sprouted grass and soybeans all around us as the dawn broke. we gave up our arms peacefully as they had us surrounded and outnumbered  ;) ;D
Quite the spectacle to be in the center of a hurricane !
Noise isn't the only thing they make either.  :o
