Hi all,

Fay Linger and I went after the Bean Goose today, Monday, December 16th and
finally found it after putting up with two separate hail storms on our way
out to the end of Sandpiper Trail. Before we headed out to the end of
Sandpiper Trail, we scoped the area adjacent to where we parked. Fay
promptly found four Red Phalaropes which were Lifers for her.

The Bean Goose was found at the end of K street in the field to the back and
West of the Hoquiam Pumping Station. We saw it with many Canada Geese,
including some Duskies.

Many thanks to Marvin Cooper who helped us out and for looking for us after
he had located it.
