From mid-March to early April snow geese and Ross' geese stop at Freezout Lake near Fairfield, Montana during their spring migration. They use the lake to rest and drink and they feed on the surrounding grain fields before continuing their journey from their wintering areas in California and the Gulf states to their breeding grounds along the Arctic coasts.
