Winter has broken its silence. After months of a bleak soundless landscape, it's been refreshing to hear new birds calling around our yard, and the honks of geese formations overhead, as spring arrivals pour into the interior of Alaska. Generally only found west of the Mississippi, Greater White-fronted Geese overwinter in the Central Valley of California, Mexico, and along the Gulf Coast, migrating north in the summer to the arctic tundra of Alaska and Canada where they breed. The pair in this photo, being harassed by a Canada Goose, have stopped over in Creamer's Field to fatten up a bit before continuing north.
