In the fall they straggle back a few at a time, in flocks with other geese.<br /><br />The best time to view the geese at Emiquon is in late February/early March. However, you ca come to the newly constructed visitor center to see what is happening all year long. There is always something amazing happening at Emiquon.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617638634721743083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18203774.post-90548499316987806652011-09-19T08:58:39.344-05:002011-09-19T08:58:39.344-05:00The Nature Conservancy doesn't allow the gener...The Nature Conservancy doesn't allow the general public out on the levee at this time. As a member of the Emiquon Corps of Discovery, a group of volunteers working to document the restoration at Emiquon, I have access to areas that others do not. However, TNC has opened up a wonderful area off of IL 78/97 (the highway that bisects the nature preserve) with boardwalks, viewing stations with scopes, and a 1.5 mile trail through the wetlands, that is now open to the public.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617638634721743083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18203774.post-78980755691628149252011-09-18T18:59:30.208-05:002011-09-18T18:59:30.208-05:00Nothing like prairie in summer, nice work!
