Emiquon Report: Snow Geese by the Tens of Thousands

It turned cold early in December, the fields covered with snow, and the Snow Geese skipped over the central Illinois River valley on their fall migration. Yesterday temps hit 50 and the snow that has covered the fields since fall melted. Along with the melt came the snow birds. Close to half a million geese flying through the air, feeding in the fields, and resting on Thompson Lake at TNC's Emiquon Preserve.
