Wintering Geese

Fir Island, Washington

We saw a good mixture of immature and mature Snow Geese at the Fir Island Reserve this year, a sign of
a continued healthy goose population. Snow Geese facts: Parents stay with their young through the
first winter. Families travel together on both the southbound and northbound migrations, separating
only after they return to the arctic breeding grounds. Family groups can easily be seen in migrating
and wintering flocks.
