With a friend, we finally got to Squaw Creek. The sight of a lifetime. The ranger reported there was near a half-million snow geese on Friday. A small line of Trumpeter Swans flew across as we walked, trumpeting. Well worth the drive up from Lawrence.
Thanks for sharing your experience; it really is a wondrous place. They update the bird counts weekly and post them on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/squawcreeknwr and they can also be found on their website: http://www.fws.gov/uploadedFiles/Squaw_Creek_Waterfowl_Count_02182016.pdf They do not count many bird species like pelicans or cormorants, but it gives you a pretty good idea what’s going on and it’s not very far away for a day trip.
