I was not able to hear any last night, nor did I hear any geese. Like Hendrick, 
we had a bit too much city noise. While watching last night's news and weather 
at 10:00 PM, the weather man showed radar images of current cloud cover. Then 
he showed a time lapse image of what he said was a huge bird migration event 
from about 7:30 PM until broadcast time. The entire radar area of southern WA 
and OR south of Portland and from the coast to the Cascades showed a continuous 
stream of birds moving south. The numbers must have been huge.
