laker67 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Went to the crappie dock today, and between 2 and 3 oclock, I witnessed no less than 30 big bunches of high flying geese, all headed "north". I left at 3 and they were still coming. Is it that time of year that they would fly back north?
Members daboone Posted February 7, 2012 Members Posted February 7, 2012 It depends on how warm it is getting and if there is a south wind. Snow geese will start to migrate back north very soon.
BilletHead Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I feel they move as the weather changes to what ther prefer. I have a friend that said they flew over the St. Louis area in waves yesterday.

duckydoty Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I've been seeing the snows heading north all day long. Huge flocks of them. We even heard them last night around midnight. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners

BilletHead Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 We sleep on the screened in porch all winter. They flew last night big time. Night before last Pat awakened me and said do you hear the specklebellies? Man I have the hook set and she has been ruined.

jdmidwest Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Huge flocks have been migrating north in the Mississippi Flyway for the last 2 weeks. Sunday at the farm, the cloud cover was full and the weather was cooling but the snows were going north by the thousands. I have noticed an influx of Canada Geese lately, locally. One would assume that the snows migrating would signal the end of winter, but they normally follow the snow line. And the fact they have picked everything clean locally and need to go back looking for food. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.
