[Tweeters] Vantage LT Duck, Ellensburg Trumpeter Swans

[Phil Mattocks]

Hi Folks,

I visited the pond in Ellensburg east of Bar14 & the Comfort Inn at 11:30 
this morning.  Present were 75 large Canada Geese, and one GBH, that's it. 
However, at noon one mile south in the NE corner of Fiorito Pond (east of 
I-82 just south from Ellensburg) there was a group of 16 Canadas, one Snow 
Goose, and a very small goose I believe is a Cackling Goose.  It was very 
windy & I didn't try for photos.

Thanks, Guy.  Perhaps these will stay for the CBC.

Phil
