Re: Ross's Goose update



Jill and All,
     
     Jill was correct, I did speak with Mrs. Snipes, of Anilorac Farm.  But to clarify, I wasn't 
asking permission to look for the goose, I was only letting her know that she had yet 
another rare bird on her property.  (I got to know her when we spoke about mowing 
around the Dickcissel nest a few years ago).  She went to the kitchen window and saw 
the goose while on the phone.  She loves her Canada Geese and feeds them, so maybe 
the Ross's will stick around for awhile.  She did not tell me that we could park on the 
access road to the field, so I think it would be wiser to park on the road shoulder, 
because I'm not sure if they'de mind or not.
