# No Snow Geese here… - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/no-snow-geese-here/ - Published: 2015-03-01T17:09:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout One year ago I heard about the annual [Snow Geese Festival](http://deltagoosefestival.com/) in Delta, Utah. The town sets aside a weekend to witness the annual migration of the snow geese from Mexico to Canada, making a stop in the fields and waters of this small town in Central Utah. Nature has it’s own schedule though, one that can not be set by man’s clock. I re-learned this truth whilst staring at empty lakeside beauty in the early morning, as the snow geese were nowhere to be found. I did however, find other more recently lost treasures of our ever changing modern world. I muse for moment, then make the quick and spontaneous decision to slowly make my way back home through the dirt roads of Great Basin National Park, with a good portion along the Pony Express route of old. [[ Cars and people along this desolate stretch are replaced with the occasional pronghorn antelope and abandoned mines. I stumble upon a bird refuge called [Fish Springs](http://www.fws.gov/refuge/fish_springs/), and get my need of seeing the Snow Geese replaced with the observations of other species….mallards, cranes and Canadian geese. [[ Interspersed with bouts of high winds and blinding snowstorms, I find a new adventurous weekend from the one originally planned, making it all the better. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/no-snow-geese-here/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20No%20Snow%20Geese%20here...&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fno-snow-geese-here%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/no-snow-geese-here/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/no-snow-geese-here/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/no-snow-geese-here/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/no-snow-geese-here/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
