"Snow geese graze on native, delta salt marsh plants, especially the three-square bulrush. The tidelands in the lower Skagit delta can no longer support the ever-growing snow goose population. To supplement their diet, snow geese feed on winter “green” crops on farmed lands in and around the Skagit and Stillaguamish River deltas. Snow geese, in mass, can easily clear winter cover crops, sometimes doing irreparable damage. Late winter and early spring crops of winter rye grass and winter wheat are particularly vulnerable."
I wonder if the geese are eatinmg the flowers or maybe bugs the flowers draw?
