Observation details
An estimated 10,000 Snow Geese were on the water out from the fisherman's jetty (we arrived around 2:45 PM). This maybe a very low estimate but it is reasonable. Please see Checklist S34207649 from George Franchois as regards his estimate. Needless to say, there were a lot of them by either estimate. At 3 PM the St. Philip Neri RCC bells rang & all of them flushed into the air except for one (perhaps an injured goose) but they stayed over the immediate area returning after about 10 mins. of flying to & fro (no eagles were seen). Large numbers of Snow Geese are not found here most years & they are a treat whenever they come in for awhile.
