Typically they flock on the water at night to avoid predators, and flock in the fields during the day to feed.

Curious question ? Saw a flock of a few thousand  Snow Geese off rt 302 Queen Annes last weekend on way to friends home on the Chester river  . We had a flock of about 2 thousand snows and 1 thousand Canadas come in to the river  for few minutes in the afternoon . At dark they all came back with likely some of their friends to roost for the night . Wondering do all geese usually roost on the rivers . Looking forward to hopefully doing an overnighter there and photographing the massive flock in the early morning.
