Hi all -
Just to keep the updates coming, the Emperor Goose was still present
south of Snohomish as of 3:30 or so this afternoon. I managed to
venture outside King Co for just a short visit, on my way home from
the Marymoor walk.

It took over a half hour to finally find the bird, despite its
striking look -- there are some serious dips and ditches in the
field, deep enough to hold geese for long periods.... Eventually,
though the Emperor Goose did pop out, near Greater White-fronted
Geese, as reported by others.


Directions, as posted by Steve M yesterday and earlier --
