[wisb] Greater white-fronted and white geese

It seems the white-fronts are here to stay as a "common" component of 
Wisconsin's spring avifauna.  I was told several years ago that to see 100 
white-fronts for the ENTIRE spring migration was notable and now flocks in the 
100s appear routine.  Has the bird shifted its northbound route eastward?  And 
has the snow goose shifted westward?  Amazing to consider that Ross's geese 
seem easier to spot now than snows.  We'll have to see if this year is just an 
anomaly or will the pattern continue regarding the Ross's.
