Greetings All: I spotted the Brant at Whisperwood Pond this morning at about 7:45. I think it is safe to say that the bird is worth looking for any time there are thousands of Cackling Geese at the location but most likely moves with these geese to foraging locations outside of Loop 289 during non-roosting periods. A lot of the geese from this - and other in-town playas - are feeding in field just to the west of FM 179; a little bit west of Lubbock proper. Morning flights to this area and afternoon flights from this area have been spectacular, according to local residents.
