Hi Tweets,

I was at the Hayton Preserve on Fir Island this afternoon (Thurs., 11/27). There was a large flock of Snow Geese (maybe 1,000) right next to the access road; with them was a Blue Goose quite close to the road providing marvelous photo-ops. I'm wondering if it's the same Blue Goose that was here last year; it was noticeably smaller than the Snow Geese.

There were also about ten Cackling Geese on the far end of the flock of Snow Geese.
