With about 1 million migrating snow geese either on the water or arriving, tens of thousands will suddenly peel off the water with a loud burst of wings and sounds that is nearly deafening. They then settle down again only to repeat the amazing display over and over. Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Mound City, Mo. Only a portion of the geese are shown here, with them extending hundreds of yards in both directions and the sky full, as well. The sound is just unbelievable.
