KLEINFELTERSVILLE, Pa. — Each spring, nature enthusiasts arrive in the pre-dawn darkness at Middle Creek in Pennsylvania to experience one of nature’s most spectacular shows. Thousands upon thousands of snow geese create a breathtaking spectacle as they take to the skies from the water’s surface in a magnificent whirling cloud.
The incredible aerial performance is brief, lasting just a few minutes as the massive flocks disperse across surrounding agricultural areas to search for food during their yearly journey northward to destinations in New York and Quebec. This remarkable migration phenomenon occurs for only a limited period each spring, attracting large numbers of wildlife enthusiasts to the sanctuary.
The wildlife refuge, established many years ago specifically to draw waterfowl to the area, has become a major destination that hosts approximately 150,000 visitors each year who come to witness this natural wonder.
