From what I have researched, our leg of their journey is nothing compared to the millions found more west, but with what I witnessed, I couldn't fathom what that could even be like.
They started to come in, flying over our heads in small flocks to the far side of the giant lake...
There were 100,000 estimated on 1 day, and on this day, they were estimating 300,000. We got there around noon, so the lighting was harsh but you get the picture...
The swarm of geese was amazing! They would move with such a fluid motion! At one point, geese were flying in 2 different directions. The band of birds stretched to a thin string and finally broke off, with geese flying opposite ways. That didn't last long, as they flew back together into a tight ball-o-geese.
The only thing that would have made this a better experience, would be if we were enveloped in the madness!
