Gathering of Geese At Tishomingo Wildlife Refuge
In the Tishomingo Wildlife Refuge the lakefront hosts large winter migrations with more than 25 000 geese and 80 000 ducks reported this week. Officials say warm weather reduced counts earlier, while Arctic air pushed birds southward. By late December expect over 30 000 geese. The refuge plants 700 acres of grain to feed the flocks and an observation station near Sandy Bridge offers viewing.
