Very nice day found two large flocks ( 8,000 and 25,000) of cacklers withe small number of Canada's the largest close to Frenchman's Bar S.P. Also in the large flock i found a Ross' goose and on my way home a snow goose joined the group. There was also three white-fronted geese as well. The nice thing i was able to read 13 yellow collars but missed 10 others due to distance and waves. There were 83 sandhill cranes on the Fazio property.
