I was working out in the yard yesterday when I heard strange sound coming
through the surrounding trees. I couldn't quite place what it was and it
kept shifting direction. I had just about given up on it when high over our
clearing I saw about a score of the Greater White-fronted Geese which chose
to give a longer set of vocalizations. They quickly spiraled out of sight
heading generally toward Colvos Passage. Seems kind of early. A new yard
bird for me.
