Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-Photographed in Delta, Utah
Watching and hearing this massive formation of geese in the sky and circle before landing was an incredible experience and well worth the drive.
Early each spring, an estimated 20,000 Snow Geese stop in Delta Utah during their annual migration. The Snow Geese begin their 3,000 mile voyage home to Canada's northwest territories, starting from where they winter in Southern California & Mexico, these travelers navigate their way home with amazing precision and faithfulness. In addition, they do it all without a trained flight crew, thousands of pounds of jet fuel, or a GPS! Instead, they are equipped with only a few pounds of fatty fuel, a mental map inherited from their parents, a built in compass sensitive to earth's magnetic field, and instinct. Amazing!
There is no other place in the State of Utah that offers the chance to see so many snow geese in one place. The sights and sounds of thousands of snow geese in the air and upon the water in such a concentrated gathering is one of the most incredible wildlife experiences available.
