Description I have been waiting a long time to see this! A Snow Goose spectacle with 20,000+ Snow Geese. They just kept coming in flock after flock and settled on Cayuga Lake. Eventually a passing by boat flushed them all up - the sound was amazing! It was like being in a full stadium of cheering people.

See my Flickr for Videos of them landing [link] and taking off [link]

It was great timing for us because the Geese have not been previously reported yet this year. We happened to be there at the right moment!!

Nice
For me it's a hunter friend who invited me at his home cause there is a little lake near to its town and he saw some tens of thousands Geese
I was like a children before this show
