Tony et AL...I just checked thru my mail and had 5 notes with two folks in
the southern half of the state saying they heard geese either last night or
this morning...3 others wrote they have had them at this time of year as
well. I was unaware of how significant this next front is going to be so I
suspect these are the result of that...I bet there will be some good hawk
flights. When I catch up I am going out to look.
