Snow Goose Migration

In early Spring each year, snow geese fly into southern Alberta on their way to their arctic nesting grounds. Stopping here to refuel, they provide one of the most amazing wildlife spectacles in all of North America.

It's amazing how such a large gathering of birds ( snow geese ) just 'peel' in lift-off from one side of a gathering spot, from a seemingly perfectly, prearranged flight plan, to an absolute, 'free-for-all' jumble once in flight, that somehow, also to some sort of arrangement, as collisions don't appear to happen. As always, Rick has done another amazing job of bringing his audience to the very brink of nature, as only a person with his experience can. Wayne Anderson/ Emma Ciavatta

Thank you so much for your kind comments. Yes indeed snow geese are amazing wildlife to watch, I don't know how they do it either, flying in such close formation without colliding with one another. All I know is its an amazing spectacle to watch.

I wonder how they manage to fly so close to each other without touching their neighbors. Or is the closeness just an optical illusion due to the distance?

[@rickandrewsfilms1667]

Not sure, perhaps its a bit of both.

Hello! I live in Michigan and I’ve seen a few snow geese pass over a couple times! Great footage!

[@rickandrewsfilms1667]

Thanks Kelly, keep an eye out for them when they pass back through in the fall.

Two winters ago i witnessed the southward migration of geese along the colorado river. By accident, i was driving across a bridge and was met with the waves of them silhouetted before an orange sky.

Must have been an incredible sight.
