In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Wow! 60!!! I also saw a smallish flock (15-20) last Saturday flying over Laurel Lakes. They weren't very vocal, which was somewhat peculiar.

Co. On November 20, 2001, around 1 pm on a clear day, I saw about 60 Snow Geese flying over downtown Bethesda, heading south. Low enough to be clearly identifiable without binoculars. I was outdoors at the time, so I did not see them from my office window. Rob Hilton rhilton@csa.com Subject: Re: Snow Geese In Mont. Co.

A flock of 37 is HUGE.
