I entered band numbers from  some geese in the backyard on 12/31, and found out that AE70 was banded on Aug 1990! I'm not sure how long Snow Geese live, but 20 years? That's awesome. Also found out it visited MD back in 1992 on 12/29. 

Thanks for the link and I hope everyone else is looking out  and entering in their snow goose bands.
