An estimated half million snow geese are on a layover in northeast South Dakota as they migrate to the Gulf States for winter.

Bill Schultze at Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge says about 200,000 are on the refuge northeast of Aberdeen.

He says the geese are in no hurry to leave because temperatures are mild and food is available.

Schultze said several dozen eagles are following the geese to feed on dead or wounded birds.

About 150,000 ducks also have stopped at Sand Lake Refuge during the fall migration.
