Description
The geese at the wildlife refuge are already looking for nesting sites, and the snowy weather came as a surprise. We don't often get much snow this side of the mountains.

Thank you so much, Gary. This was one of those magic moments that appear once in a blue moon. A snowfall during nesting time. The geese sure look nonplussed.
