Last year by far was the most birds we had seen in this area and there were several hundred hanging out in the middle of Weed Lake.

growing up in your at the edge of Langdon back in the 60's we only ever saw swans , huge flocks of them on weed lake , before they drained it
very rarely did we see snow geese
east of Brooks is where we started seeing snow geese,
I remember riding on the school bus between Langdon and Indus and Chestermere high schools the ponds and slews were loaded with swans
but never snow geese in the spring
