They aren't as many their anymore because they where eating endangered grass species and we had a open hunt on geese their
The area is a migratory Bird stop so there is a specific time to see them, typically winter for some of the species. Here is a link with more info: https://www.fws.gov/refuge/ankeny/wildlife_and_habitat/avian.html
There's less of everything than there was 10 yrs. ago. There is also a billion more people than there was 10 yrs. ago. Do the math.
Every year there are fewer and fewer geese, sadly. Last year it was really disappointing to see so few. This year there have been a few larger flocks but nothing like there was about 10 years ago.
Lucky.
