Balestri" Subject: Barnacle Goose - Yes Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Yesterday, Bob and I were down in Alexandria to see relatives and decided to stop in to see the Barnacle Goose at Cameron Run. We walked the bridge, the park, ball fields, and the path up under the bridge (for a ways) --no goose. Upon returning to the car, we saw some geese flying into the creek and decided to check the creek out again. Lots of geese where there was none before, and there in the middle was "Barney" (is that what we are calling him now?). What a beautiful bird and I never thought I would say that about a goose (except the Ross' Goose last year!). Lovely face and beautiful grey coloring. -- Marcia E.
