Tweeters,

There were Cackling Geese all over Rest Lake at Ridgefield NWR, Clark
County, southwest Washington this morning with many, many, many flocks
heading down the Columbia in the direction of Ridgefield and Sauvie Island
on the Oregon side of the Columbia. Previous commitments prevented me from
staying and watching the show longer. Surprisingly few raptors
flying today given the nice weather.
