Something happened in a wildlife refuge in Missouri that will leave your jaw on the floor. No, a blizzard didn’t hit this Midwestern state, although that’s what it seems like (and wouldn’t be a surprise). The people in Mizzou were taken over by something completely different. We bet you can’t guess what.
Is that a blizzard? In Missouri?

The snow is taking over!

Oh wait, that’s not snow…

It’s just some birds.

Well, a BUNCH of birds.

The Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge was treated to a group of geese that were making their way back home.

These birds are known as snow geese.

Their home is the Arctic tundra found in Greenland, Canada, and Alaska.

Groups of birds, numbering from 100 to 1,000, join with others on their journey.

There are enough geese to block out the sky.

This area in Missouri is known as the Central Flyway because of the large number of birds that travel through.

The snow goose, otherwise known as the blue goose, is native to North America. These kinds of geese breed north of the timberline in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and the northeastern tip of Siberia. Then, during the winters, they fly to the warm parts of North America from southwestern British Columbia through parts of the United States to Mexico.
Although these birds didn’t make up a blizzard, we have a feeling they left of lot of something behind that needs cleaned up!
