The birds of quarantine

During Montana’s coronavirus shutdown, which lasted from mid-March to early May, we kept our sanity by watching the snow geese migration.

Thousands of snow geese were here for about a month, and they would fly from Lake Frances over our house to the farm fields and back again many times throughout the day. They stopped here on a 3,000 mile migration from Mexico and the southern U.S. to fly to the Arctic Tundra to breed this summer.
