Dear Dianna,
Thank you so very much to write this up to tweeters. You have no Idea how
bad the birders from Oregon feeling as this birds was sighted Friday by many
not to come again on Saturday this as last January not seeing the Bean Goose
and again the same happen all over again this weekend.And than is Bart
Whelten from Spokane what wanted this two Geese,we left him on Saturday late
on K-Street feeling low,he mention that he would look again this morning.And
again all the birders what came this morning.I myself never believed this
birds left and still was looking again today.Obol have a lot more messages
on this bird than tweeters especial about the posting and response about
Vagrant vs...Escapes and all the messages about ID Blunder.There never been
so many messages listed than right now.The point is that all people looking
and saw how wary this birds where in there behavior doesn't sound Escape to
most birders.But I am so happy that this Geese been found again.And Thank
you to have such interest in this two lovely Geese.



Cheers Ruth Sullivan
