hi all ... yesterday Bob Flores reported a Ross's Goose and a Snow
Goose in a flock of 25,000 cacklers near Vancouver's Frenchman's Bar
Park ... this afternoon Gene and I went out to see if either goose
was there ... no Ross but the Snow Goose was there ... and we also
saw at least 2 Greater-White Fronted Geese ... however our highlight
was just seeing the massive number of cacklers !!!!!!!!!!! ... it was
impressive ... cars were just stopping in mid-road to take a look ...
here's a couple of pix ...

just a portion of the view ...
