Annual Blue Geese Flight
Offers Splendid Spectacle


One of the most specta cular con-
centrations Of birds 10 the entire
United States is the annual flight OF
blue and snow geese north through
the Missouri river bottoms.
Each year the first aocks OF these
magnificent waterfowl reach Iowa
about March LIST, stopping, first IN
the bottoms near Hamburg, then
gradually moving northward. aug.
mented by additional flocks from
the south. The peak Of the flight Is
reached about March Is. at which
time the birds number some 500. 600
In an area OF a few miles. In the
heaviest concentrations, single nocks
often total more than 100000 noisy
individuals.
The birds spend from two to four
weeks In the broad, fiat fields of the
Missouri river bottoms and grow fat
on waste corn before moving on
through Canada to their nesting
grounds Immediately below the Arc
tic circle.
The last few years the blue goose
has become more important as a
game bird In the fall. Where for
merly the great nocks few nonstop
from their nesting grounds to the
Louisiana and coastal marshes OF
Texas, the fall flight now disperses
and stops to feed on waste corn over
wide areas in the north-central part
Of the United States.
