For many species, once in a while we see a species that is normally from someplace far away from it's normal path. I wonder what the story is for that little guy.
Among the fantastic migratory behaviors I get to see are the Sandhill cranes and the Trumpeter Swans gather and leave in a flock. But yesterday, I have not seen these since I moved to lower elevations, Snow geese!
Yesterday morning, around 3am, I stepped out on the porch and heard them in the snowy clouds in the dark, flying pretty low at that point. It was around noon that I was outside doing something and I heard a chopper coming over the pass so I looked up. It was then, after spotting the aircraft that I saw them, a faint wisp of white in the cold, sunny, sapphire sky... three groups of them riding the high altitude winds driving the winter storm that will arrive in 48 hours.
