On Tuesday morning there were several thousand Snow Geese in the flooded fields on county road 9 just east of Curran. There were a few Canada geese, one Crackling goose and a small amount of Northern Pintails there as well. In addition to these geese, a large flock of Snow Geese was seen flying just to the west of Alexandria. No geese were seen in the fields beside highway 34 from Green Valley. A flock of several hundred were still in the field on School House Road north of Lancaster.
Directions to Curran flock: Highway 417 exiting north at exit 51 onto county road 9. The flooded fields are those at the junction with county road 2. At exit 35 head south towards Lancaster, passing through Alexandria and Green Valley. Turn west on Fallow Field Road, south onto School House Road. Flooded fields on the west held the majority of birds.
