Freezeout Lake Montana -

 Drove past the lake on the way home from Great Falls.

Saw a few Snow Geese, Pelicans, and these Sand Cranes

oh, and saw this Bald Eagle too.

Freezeout Lake Montana: Canadian Geese

 2 days ago the water was mostly open, but since the winter storm that rolled through it looks like most of the lake is frozen with some open areas.

Freezeout Lake Snow Geese

 Decided to go for a short drive to look at the birds, did not think we would see much due to the time of day, but we saw enough action to satisify us.  

Today      Geese estimates: 51,000

                                Swans: 5,953

Freezeout Lake Swans

 Drove by Freezeout Lake to see the Snow Geese migration and was treated to  a stunning display of Swans
