A News 12 viewer spotted an unusual sighting Tuesday when they saw a flock of snow geese on Maple Avenue in Goshen.
A wildlife expert at Bear Mountain State Park tells News 12 that despite their name, snow geese are a sign of spring - not Wednesday's impending snow - and that the geese are migrating back north from mid-Atlantic states. 
They say the birds likely stopped for food are typically seen in large flocks of hundreds, if not thousands, as seen in a video of the birds sent into News 12.
