After looking at my prior post and my poor order of noted birds seen, I
realized that something might be misconstrued on the geese since the note on
them followed the "no sighting" of Peregrine Falcon that had been seen this
weekend.
The Snow, Canada, Cackling and Great White-fronted Geese were seen and easily
observable from blind and road.
