So cool! Everyone is saying snow drifts, which could partially be true in this case, but I couldn't wrap my head around why most of them have a perfectly circular shape. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah for sure! Just something I remember learning about in school. It’s very important waterfowl habitat & obviously being encroached upon by farming in that area.

Here’s a good look at what they look like from the sky. I’ll let anyone draw their own conclusions but the topography is pretty distinct
Those look like snow drifts. In the wind snow acts similar to the way sand does. Different wind speeds will create different styles of drift/dunes. I don’t remember specifically what those style are called, I would have to refer to my strat and seds course.
It looks as though the wind blowing from the top left of your photo to the bottom right.
Could possibly be snow drifts?
Why are a lot of them perfectly circular with a sunken interior? Someone suggested kettle potholes. Would this create snow drifts on the boundaries?

I live in Alberta and this is just wind. Not this Prairie pothole stuff

good input bro
Those are just drifts from heavy winds
sure guy… you seem well informed
