The geese that winter in Southern Illinois start moving North about now. That flock is around 500k birds. They start arriving at Crab Orchard Refuge on the 27th of September every year.

We also have about 1,000 Giant Canada Geese that stay in the county all year. Huge birds and enough of them that they keep several lakes and ponds from ever freezing over.
