20091109 Snow Geese, riviere Richelieu, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

During a 100km bike ride to Saint-Blaise-sur-Richelieu on this quite balmy fall day, I saw some Canada Geese on the Richelieu river at Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. That's not unusual, but what is unusual is seeing Snow Geese here, and in quite good numbers, a few thousands at least. there were some here and more upriver nearer to the town. They gave me a good show of going up a bit, some overhead to rest in fields for the night, some only upriver a bit. Music: Philip Glass from 1000 Airplanes On The Roof.
