Every year, hundreds of thousands of talkative snow geese and other winter birds flock to Middle Creek, an area nestled on the border of Lancaster and Lebanon counties in Kleinfeltersville，PA。

Thursday, March 4
Yesterday's number of birds reflects the largest number of snow geese we have had yet this year – close to 100,000! Because the lake is still partially frozen, the birds were packed into the area that has open water and they eventually ran out of room and had to sit on the ice. While this morning's count was lower than yesterday's peak number of birds, we are most likely nearing peak migration for snow geese.
While it is exciting that goose numbers are increasing, public visitation has followed suit. To help keep crowd sizes manageable and to have a more enjoyable experience, Middle Creek staff continues to encourage the public to visit during the morning hours or during the week. If you do visit during the weekend, consider viewing the snow geese from other areas including Stop #1 or Stop #6 on the Tour Route.
Oh, to love what is lovely, and will not last! What a task To ask Of anything, or anyone, Yet it is ours, And not by the century or the year, but by the hours. One fall day I heard Above me, and above the sting of the wind, a sound I did not know, and my look shot upward; it was A flock of snow geese, winging it Faster than the ones we usually see, And, being the color of snow, catching the sun So they were, in part at least, golden.

Despite what people say, snow goose is edible and tasty—if you cook it correctly. Big adult birds can be upwards of 15 to 20 years old, and they are challenging to deal with. Juvenile birds, however, are downright delicious.Feb 19, 2016 Five Ways to Prepare Snow Geese | Field & Stream

Snow Geese
Oh, to love what is lovely, and will not last!
What a task
To ask
Of anything, or anyone,
Yet it is ours,
And not by the century or the year, but by the hours.
One fall day I heard
Above me, and above the sting of the wind, a sound
I did not know, and my look shot upward; it was
A flock of snow geese, winging it
Faster than the ones we usually see,
And, being the color of snow, catching the sun
So they were, in part at least, golden. I
Held my breath
As we do
Sometimes
To stop time
When something wonderful
Has touched us
As with a match,
Which is lit, and bright,
But does not hurt
In the common way,
But delightfully,
As if delight
Were the most serious thing
You ever felt.
The geese
Flew on,
I have never seen them again.
Maybe I will, someday, somewhere.
Maybe I won’t.
It doesn’t matter.
What matters
Is that, when I saw them,
I saw them
As through the veil, secretly, joyfully, clearly.
对此只能长叹息。。。。
吃不上~~~
尤其是四个爪的
子弹：两毛五
雪雁：免费
罚款：$5000-20000
我看到鸟的河流，比这宽，比这厚，在高高的天空飞行，鸟的河流流动了20分钟以上。当时我估计鸟的总数超过一亿只。
每个人都半月了好几磅
可可已深得笑坛真传
