Abstract:

Snow bird, usually a descriptor for northerners who’ve moved south, is used here in reference to birds like Snow Geese. Flocking to North Carolina spots like Lake Mattamuskeet between November-February, Snow Geese prefer such areas because of land and water availability of plants like corn as well as the temperate winter weather.
