Nature Is So Cool: Migrating Geese Create Spectacle Over Iowa

50 Campfires

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently shared a video showing “a goose situation”—several large flocks of snow geese migrating over Iowa. The video is strangely satisfying, thanks to the geese’s unique formations, which feature stunning right angles.

“Stop what you’re doing,” USFWS wrote in the Instagram post sharing the video. “Over the sky of DeSoto and Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuges in Iowa, waves of white-fronted geese and snow geese are busy flying overhead. It’s the kind of migration moment that makes you forget whatever you were worrying about and just stare in awe.”
