Default Snow Geese This Early

It’s 2:45am on September 6 and I just saw a flock of 100 snow geese fly over Saskatoon. Thought I heard a couple flocks earlier in the night. It’s exceptionally early for migrators.

I have seen snows around for the September 1 opener central Alberta. Rare but it happens main push will be a while yet. Often non breeding flocks although I have seen juvies on the first too. Waiting on the specks seems like everyone an hour west, south and east has specks already but just a few around here.
