Return to Squaw Creek

As the photographs from this year's Eagle Days at Squaw Creek indicate, the National Wildlife Preserve featured few eagles, for the second year in a row.

But the weather cooperated this year--last year all was fog and chill.   

The 400,000+ Snow Geese put on quite a show.  The following video captures some of the spectacle and the noise--though my forgetting to delete film resulted in my not getting the most spectacular of the action.

I enjoyed a great deal both the Snow Geese and the chance to talk

with friends from the Nebraska Ornithologists' Union, Deb Brown and Paul Johnsgard, who appear in the photograph atop the page.
