Observation details

There were more geese than I could estimate logically. I have only seen this many geese once before, earlier this year and decided against loading them as I couldn't comprehend an actual number. The snow geese were spread out across a lake for a distance of 5 hands or twenty fingers at arms length. I looked at a photo representing 1 fingers worth of geese and think the estimate is on the low side. That being said, if you told me there was only 5,000 geese I would be like okay. If you told me there was 25,000 geese I would be okay with that as well. I have a video of the geese flying and settling back onto the water, it is dizzying with the amount of birds that were flying around. The closeup photo represents 1/20th of the flock (1 finger width). The rest are photos that show the extent of the flock as a whole, some overlapping though.
