[Tweeters] emperor quest

[William Driskell]

Today, midday Friday, Inge & I relocated the emperor goose in Padilla 
Bay.  It was on the shore of one of the channel islets N of the "12 
Tower" turnout  (where the road turns N onto the east side of March 
Point; approaching Anacortes, turn at the casino). It then spooked and 
flew with a flock of Brandt and landed at one of the northern channel 
islets.  It was simple to spot.  Look for the white head and neck.

It was a life bird for Inge but I've seen flocks on Kodiak Island, AK, 
their normal southern haunt.

We later spotted a white-fronted goose amoung Canadas on the Skagit flats.

Gusting 40; interesting day.
