Snow Goose Migration Late This Year By Gary Howey
It may not look like it right now, but the Spring Snow goose season is underway.
With all the snow thats covering the upper Midwest, many are wondering if there will be many geese coming through our area.
Today the tempoerature is in the mid 40′s, which will help cut the snow as will the rain that’s predicted this weekend.
Right now it sounds as if a lot of Snow geese are stacked up in northern Kansas and Southern Nebraska waiting for the snow to melt before they head north.
Snow geese unlike their darker cousins don’t need open water as they’d just as soon set in a flooded field as on a lake or pond.
What they do require is food and all of the snow is now covering their food supply, so they’ll have to set tight until some of the ground opens us.
We hunters who are waiting for the geese will have to do the same, just wait it out until the geese start to move.
I like many others are hoping it comes quickly!
