Thanks to all you birders' messages, I saw the gorgeous Barnacle Goose on my
first try today! Shortly after noon he was in the grass near the water park
parking lot, and quite a few people were enjoying looks just outside the fence.
I had a slightly closer look because I was on the miniature golf course. I
looked at the Canadas in Barney's current group and found one that had leg
bands. On the left leg was an aluminum one and I couldn't see any markings;
however, on the right he wore a larger black band with a yellow "J42" ID. (I
just saw the site for reporting the band, so I'll provide the information
there.)

P.S. All the photos are great, too! Thanks, Paula and Renee.
