Beechdale waterfowl and shorebird staging area
Stopping at a shallow, human-made pond by Mill Creek along Beechdale Road in Lancaster County farmland one March afternoon, I saw mixed flocks of Canada geese and snow geese rising noisily, one after another, from a nearby field. Those gatherings of bugling geese flew toward that half-acre pond on the same aerial path visible only to them and descended into the wind to the water like a roaring, feathered waterfall. The first arrivals floated on the pond and honked, as more clamorous flocks descended to the same built impoundment and landed on the water among their fellows without collision.
