A Morning At Middle Creek Part 3-Camera Critters

Tundra swans and snow geese are the two major attractions at Middle Creek at this time of year, but as was mentioned in A Morning At Middle Creek Part 1, we were too late to see the large flocks of these birds, but did encounter a few tundra swans as they flew north away from Middle Creek Lake.

We also found  flocks of snow geese circling around willow point, so we parked and walked Willow Point Trail to the observation area.

Once there, we photographed and filmed the geese as they arrived and joined the birds already on the water.  We later learned that an estimated 10,000 snow geese were at Middle Creek that day.
