Snow Geese – Over Silvermere Lake, BC

The Lesser Snow Geese from Wrangel Island are one of the most important winter users of the Alaksen National Wildlife Area on the Fraser River delta in British Columbia. Every year at this time, we see large numbers flocking to our local greenways, fields, parks, and school grounds.  As the numbers have increased, the birds have spilled over onto the nearby farmland and can be found in marshes and soggy fields far inland, thus the joy of seeing them fly over Silvermere Lake, 70 Km from their winter resting grounds.
