Scott Carpenter told us about the flock of Aleutian cackling geese that winters near Pacific City half an hour south of Tillamook. We saw them easily yesterday. I did some research subsequently and learned that it is well known that these geese winter where we saw them. Jan and I are relatively new to Oregon and weren't aware of this. If anyone else doesn't know about them and wants directions, contact me privately and I will send you Scott's excellent instructions.
