Networking is a wonderful thing. This morning as we were returning from a visit to the eye doctor's office, a call on the cell phone from a fellow birder regarding the appearance of what was easily over 1000 Snow geese brought Sharon and me along with a number of other club members to Skinners Road in Florida, New York. The sky was literally blackened with the birds whenever they chose to rise as one. They would fly over head so close you could hear their wingbeats, circle around the vast fields, and eventually land back on the turf, again in unison. We scanned the massive flock in vain as we tried to pick out a Ross's goose, another species known to "hang with" the Snows. The failure to spot a Ross's was the lone down point of this remarkable show. We watched the aerial displays for over an hour before having to abandon the fields for more mundane tasks of daily life. But this was certainly a sight to remember.
