We found hundreds of Snow Geese congregating on a farmer’s field near Seagoville, Texas. Also in the mix are similar but smaller Ross’s Geese.

The geese were gathered on both sides of Kaufman Street, with the largest congregation to the north.

At one point while we watched a trio of mischievous dogs ran headlong into a group of geese, scattering the big white birds to the wind. Man, the dogs looked like they were having fun!

We found this lone Ross's Goose in a ditch next to FM3039. He was a harbinger of things to come.

Ross's Geese often congregate with Snow Geese and the two birds look very similar. The Ross's Goose is significantly smaller than the Snow Goose, and has a shorter neck and smaller bill.
