In the 1990s as many as 50,000 snow geese would come
down in the fields around the Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area each
fall. But these days there are far fewer geese taking a break in
Vermont. But the dwindling numbers don’t mean the birds are in trouble.
Even with the recent spate of
summery weather, there are plenty of telltale signs that fall is here. Bright

sign of spring. Making it time for our annual spring bird show.
