Waterfowl in wild Alaska

The north side of Fairbanks has a large farm with an active dairy that is surrounded by a waterfowl preservation. Each year, nearly every migratory duck, goose or crane heads south from up here to the lower 48 east and west. They gather in large groups getting ready to take off and head south. Looks like any airport in America if you ask me. On Friday it seemed to be all Sandhill Cranes and Canadian Geese. The noise was great. Like a cocktail party full of blue hairs with their hearing aids turned down too low. I think the cranes are pretty cool looking.
