Hi Tweeters:

In case you have not seen this, the Tuesday, December 17th edition of the Aberdeen DAILY WORLD has an article about the Bean Goose in Hoquiam, with comments from local birders, and with a very dandy picture attributed to Patrick Sullivan. Also there is a nice comment by the owner of Lana's Cafe. (I eat there occasionally.) Should you wish to read the article, here is the web address for the page. Unfortunately Patrick's picture of Beaner is not on the web site; you will need to request the 12/17/02 hard copy edition of the paper to see the bird (with a nice shot of a Canada Goose nearby for comparison).
