Yesterday's warm weather apparently started the geese moving. In three hours I saw 24 flocks over my house, totalling 7600+ birds, all very high and moving northwest, making it easy to separate from the locals. Had 4 Snow Geese mixed in and one flock (38) of Tundra Swans. Rick "A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."
