Sunday morning there were 2 greater white-fronted geese at the golf course, and very close to the fence, when I went by about 8:30. Too back I missed the Cooper?s hawk, but I had been inspecting the canada geese flock for a while for non-canadas?!

> On Fri 12/4 and Sat 12/5, a greater white-fronted goose was feeding with the Canadas on the Green Lake golf course, obligingly close to the trail. Today (Sun 12/6), the golf course geese were too far for good viewing, although a few cacklers were easy to spot in the flock.
