Snow Geese Expected At Delta Festival

Snow Goose FestivalI've been doing website development work for Millard County Travel. Among other things, I've posted two video clips showing the annual Snow Goose Festival, which takes place every year during the last part of February. This year it is scheduled to run Feb 20-21.

The geese put on a pretty good show every year. They are remarkable consistent, with some 10,000 birds stopping over as they migrate north. DWR partners with Millard County to host the festival, which has become one of Utah's most popular wildlife viewing events.

DWR has spotting scopes so people can watch the birds as they rest on Gunnison Bend Reservoir, and as they forage in nearby fields.

The video clips are pretty impressive. They were shot for the Roughin It Outdoors TV show. I pulled them from a DVD and snipped out the pertinent segments.

Go to Millard's Snow Goose page for more info on the festival. That page also has links to the video clips. DWR also has info on the festival. See it here.

The same DVD has great video showing the Amasa Basin ATV trail in the west desert. Millard wants me to pull it off and put it on their website. I'll get that done during the next few days.
