No eggs here and no obvious courting. Its been sub-freezing for over a month so hopefully they'll hold off until it warms up.

Snow geese?Stepped out onto my deck this fine Icey Christmas eve and my mom goes look! pointing up, lo and behold there's a formation of large white geese flying directly over head.
Sadly neither of us could get our cameras ready quick enough and they turned south and head to my neighbors.
Personally this is a first for me. Could these be feral domestics? They were definitely larger than the Canadian geese we see coming through here. All white with yellow/orange beaks.
Or... is it a sign?
They had no grey on their wings and they were big.Snow geese?
You think they could have been crains snow geese are usually smaller than Canadian geeseStepped out onto my deck this fine Icey Christmas eve and my mom goes look! pointing up, lo and behold there's a formation of large white geese flying directly over head.

I thought about answering this morning then I did more research. We get lots of snow geese around here they (dark beaks black tipped wings) they are much smaller than the Canadian. Last year Buzz a friend of mine that lives on the other side of the reservoir than I do saw something very similar to what you described. So I put the binoculars in the truck and checked as I drove by every morning. About 3-4 days latter a huge group of white cranes had shown up. In the air they do look allot like geese there long necks are seamless under there wings and leg's press against there bodies.They had no grey on their wings and they were big.
