Conditions were such that in the ponds near the northern boundary of the refuge,a large number of Snow Geese
gathered.
A warm day melted the ice near the banks, and the Snow Geese tended to move closer than usual to the pond margins.
The two geese in the center were aware of, but not troubled by, the photographers, allowing this quiet image to
be taken.
