Description
Abstract: DeSoto NWR, Missouri Valley, Iowa: As spectacular as the sight of hundreds of thousands of wintering snow geese is, one should not overlook some of the other unique experiences at DeSoto Refuge. Travel back in time at the visitor center's display of artifacts salvaged from the wrecked steamship Bertrand, which sank in 1865; scan the waters for strange and primordial paddlefish; file your nails on the horsetail rush, an ancient plant with a heavy concentration of silica.

The snow goose (Chen caerulescens), consisting of both a white phase and blue phase (Blue Goose), is a North American species of goose commonly collectively referred to as "light geese". Its name derives from the typically white plumage. Some authorities place this species in the more traditional grey goose genus Anser.
