[Tweeters] Return of the Snow Geese

[Carol Riddell via Tweeters]

Hi Tweets,

Just to add to Nancy's Skagit sighting of some Snow Geese, there are eBird reports east of the Cascades, too. At Potholes the first reports of several geese were September 5th with over 40 by September 24th. There are also a few early September reports of one to several geese along the Columbia in the vicinity of Tri-Cities. A great hallmark of fall. Happy birding.

Hi all - I heard a rumor some snow geese had started arriving here in Skagit yesterday. I confirmed this morning. Saw a small flock of about 40 mixed in with white-fronted foraging on Fir Island. A sure sign fall has arrived!
