As Matt Hunter reported for Douglas County, I have yet to see or hear a single one of these geese in the Eugene area. I know that some people have seen a few going over here, however. Last year at this time, there were hordes of them overhead for more than a week, night and day. But they do change their routes over the years. When I was younger, there were none of them that were ever seen here. in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, most of them migrated over Eastern Oregon. At that time, my grandfather stood near his house in the town of Fox and shot a dozen or so, each Spring and Fall.
