At Middle Creek

Though the lake at Middle Creek is ice-covered, snow geese and tundra swans are here in great numbers.

I say “here” because I’m at Middle Creek this morning.  I was considering the 8-hour round trip when Dave Kerr’s photos from Friday convinced me it was worthwhile.

Here are my favorites: three tundra swans landing, a string of snow geese …

  1. I would highly recommend visiting Middle Creek if you’ve never been there. I’ve been there twice in my life, and the sight of thousands of tundra swans and snow geese on the lake (which was not frozen the two times I’ve been there) is truly spectacular. You can’t imagine the constant noise from the birds. And, you can also see at least a dozen or more species of ducks when you are there in the smaller ponds on the property.

  2. I talked to my Mom in Reading, PA last night. My brother had taken her to Middle Creek Sunday A.M.. She said when the geese landed on the lake, it looked as if someone had decorated the entire lake with whipped cream. Sounds spectacular.
