DELTA, Utah (AP) -- Your best bet for seeing thousands of migrating snow geese may be next week at the annual Utah Snow Goose Festival.

The three-day event, which starts Feb. 19, will be held at Gunnison Bend Reservoir just west of Delta. Admission is free.

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officials say up to 20,000 snow geese have been spotted at festivals in previous years. Except for black tips on their wings, snow geese are pure white.

State officials will provide spotting scopes. Biologists will also be on hand to answer questions.
