Photos show the dramatic dawn flight of migrating snow geese

KLEINFELTERSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Bird watchers gather before dawn in Middle Creek, Pa., to watch thousands of migratory snow geese fly out of the reservoir in a swirling mass. The display lasts only a few minutes before the birds disperse to nearby agricultural fields to feed as they continue their annual spring migration north toward New York and Quebec. For a few weeks each year, the migration draws crowds of nature lovers to the refuge, created decades ago to attract waterfowl and which now welcomes about 150,000 visitors a year.
