[va-bird] Re: Barnacle Bill, the peripatetic goose, Alexandria

Greetings,

I haven't been goose-chasing today, so this isn't about a specific sighting, 
but rather a general note about Barnacle movements.

My Madge and Burn waterfowl ID guide has this passage that relates to 
Barnacle Goose characteristics, "Compared with other geese, seems to spend 
more time flying about in winter quarters, flocks constantly rising, circling 
and dropping in to feed again."  

I found this interesting in light of "our" goose's peripatetic qualities.
