Similarly, along the Central Dakota Birding Drive, other birders and =
nature enthusiasts witnessed one of the greatest of migration episodes, =
with huge feeding concentrations of geese - Snow Geese, Ross', =
White-fronts, and Arctic-nesting Canada Geese - flying in a seemingly =
endless parade to a field where circled and spiraled down, flock after =
flock, where they mixed and fed amid a chorus of "goose music."=20

and Bismarck-Mandan Birding Drives, each of which are composed of three =
easy-to-follow routes. Simple maps help users navigate along the routes, =
and provide information about where to go, how to get there, and what =
birds you can expect to see in season.=20
