Photographer’s Note

This picture was taken in April at Creamer's Field Waterfowl Refuge, Fairbanks, Alaska. Creamer's Field is an important area for migrating birds; the fields are cleared of the last of the snow in April to prepare a place for migrating birds to stop on their journey northwards. These Canada geese were just a few of many that rested at Creamer's Field. The refuge was also visited by swans, pintails, sandhill cranes, mallards and other wildfowl. The wildfowl are a great tourist attraction for the residents of Fairbanks who do not see many other birds apart from ravens during the long winter.
