Snow geese northbound for spring

I’m not going to count all those white dots but there is probably close to a couple hundred of them. While out on the plains of Colorado Saturday I heard a big racket that was far different from the more common Canada geese we usually see here. Looking up, I saw this massive flock of snow geese, heading north to their summer homes on the Arctic tundra. Along the Colorado Front Range we usually only see these guys during migration but they are quite common elsewhere.
