Observation details
Large group from yesterday afternoon returned to roost here overnight. These smaller geese stood out from the Snow's, looking like a microwaved shrunk version of them. Also had the greenish color in that smaller bill. This flock stayed here with the Snow Geese during 18-21 Feb (with 7 still present on 23 Feb, with some of these birds also seen on some of these days by other birders). A very large and early flock for Ne. IL - there was an unprecedented movement of this species to Lake Michigan, from Chicago north to the stateline starting 16 Feb., so this was part of a broader and larger flight.
