Snow Geese In Motion: Start of a Swarm 13-second video (1.1-meg file) | March 4, 2012 |
| |
Although the dawn count had over 60,000 snow geese on Friday, by midday, when Sue and I had arrived, it looked as if "only" about 10,000 were on or near the lake at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, Pennsylvania,.
However, I managed to take some interesting video. This short clip shows the beginning of a goose storm. Click the play button (in the lower left corner) to start the video. |

Video note: The video was taken on Friday, 2 March 2012, on my old Sony digital-8 camcorder; digital footage was captured and edited in Pinnacle Studio 12; and a mp4 file was converted to Flash by DVDVideoSoft's free converter. There should be an easier way, but I haven't come across one yet.
