You have no idea. I had flocks of geese going over Brooktondale at 0730. Susie & I got to Mt. Pleasant at 0930 and stayed for 2.5 hours. A lot of SNOW GEESE early; mostly CANADAS for the last hour. Go there if you can. I am estimating we saw several hundred thousand at a minimum. They covered the sky. As far as we could look both east and west, at any time there were 10-20 large flocks visible with optics. Also 15 PINTAILS, 15 SWANS, 10-12 KILLDEER, thousands of BLACKBIRDS, 3 CACKLING GOOSE candidates. Oddly, no hawks or eagles--one each local RED-TAIL and TV. Had to quit--neck cramps.
