Tweets,

Just to update on the Emperor Geese, I saw the two adults on Tuesday, Jan. 22, mid-afternoon, in the field near Carruthers Slough west of South Bend. At that time, there were more than 1000 Cackling and Canada Geese in several smaller and larger flocks on the north side of the highway at this point. The Emperor Geese stayed very close together.

Chase that goose, Bob

Subject: [Tweeters] No Emperor Geese yesterday near South Bend


Jeff Jendro and I tried for the Emperor Geese near South Bend yesterday morning. We spent nearly a hour scoping the various flocks of Canada/Cackling Geese. We did pick out one Greater White-fronted Goose. Also, two red neck bands were seen on the Canadas.

After South Bend, we headed back to Grays Harbor county covering the Hoquiam STP, Grays Harbor NWR, and the Brady Loop area. Most notable were two separate Rough-legged Hawks. One was seen "kiting" near the K street field in Hoquiam. The other was on the south end of Foster Rd. in the Brady Loop area.
