When I lived in NW Missouri, St Joe to be precise, we used to go to Squaw Creek NWR to see snow geese and bald eagles. (No pesky mountains in the background.) Once, when we were there, we saw 700,000 snow geese and 100+? bald eagles. That was incredible. The lake/pond/marsh was FULL, yet geese kept landing in the midst of it all. Amazing. The bald eagles would fight over the dead geese -- now THAT was a show! Cool stuff I will never forget; thanks for reminding me of it, Harald. If I had a web page I would post my photos, too.
