Driving into the preserve, what appear to be snow-covered fields and a lake in the distance are actually acre upon acre of wingtip-to-wingtip Snow Geese. The presence of the geese and swans recently sparked the National Audubon Society to designate Middle Creek a Globally Significant Important Bird Area. In recent years, I have been drawn back in late winter to witness and photograph the thousands of migrating Snow Geese and Tundra Swans that take respite here on their northward migratory journey. I first experienced the delight of wandering Middle Creekâs fields and woods as a boy growing up in the nearby town of Ephrata in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
