Hi Tweets,

It seems the passage of that storm unleashed a huge migration backed up
behind it. Should be lots arriving over the next few days.

Just talked to Tony Greenfield (not on Tweeters), who lives on the Sechelt
Peninsula, about 35-40 km NW of Vancouver BC. He says that large flocks of
Canada Geese have been going over all day and evening long, and that when he
did some birding on one of the points in Georgia Strait this AM, the Strait
was "absolutely *filled* (his emphasis) with dense flocks of Mallards,
Canada Geese, scoters, teal" going past.

On my way home this evening, a flock of about 600 Snow Geese went over
fairly high up heading not S but SE, as most of the migrant geese do when
they turn in from the Strait, enter Burrard Inlet, and make landfall usually
about Kitsilano, the West End, or around Jericho Pk. At night, more often
than not they circle over Kitsilano.
