BIRDS: Thousands of snow geese visit East Marlborough

What a stunning sight! Early Friday afternoon thousands of snow geese were hanging out in the open bare field on the south side of Route 926 west of Wollaston Road. There were so many of the white birds that it looked as if the field was covered with snow. There were a few Canada geese along the edges, but they were vastly outnumbered. Snow geese adults are easy to identify in flight: they are white with black wingtips.
