Jim Stasz & I visited Jug Bay and Merkle yesterday. Although we had a few thousand geese, there was no Ross's found. We did have 2 Cackling Geese in the fields with a couple thousand Canadas.

I'm hoping that the Jug Bay Ross's Goose will turn up here with the regular Canada Geese (as the Merkle Ross's Goose did in 2006), but so far no luck.
