Snow geese have been passing through the Delta area for the past decade. These birds likely were of Siberian stock, passing by on their way south. I remember getting a shot at one flock - just the shot, not the bird. When I was a kid - before there was dirt - there were a few snows on the Chickaloon and Susitna mudflats late in the season. Snow geese are relative newcomers on this migration path through the Interior. Migrating snow geese are on the increase. The last of the sandhill cranes stopped for their last bit of grain just before the snow began on Wednesday. There have been less than is usual, maybe because 20 produced poor hatches. Trumpeter swans are passing through Delta on their normal schedule. The weather records say this is close to average. It feels like a late snow, though that may be just a perception.
Now, the snow is here to stay, at least in our section of the woods.
