Hi folks, I needed to pick Tracey up at school on our way home for the holidays, and her school is just a few miles from Pellisippi Comm Coll, (West Knox County, just beyond the north terminus of I-140) so I dropped by there on the way to get her. No geese at all. not a one. The flock of about 35 Killdeer was a weak consolation. So I got back on the road to go to get her. And I saw 2 flocks of about 30 geese each heading in the direction of the college! And there was a white goose in each flock! I turned around and went back, and there were 27 Canada Geese with one Ross's Goose. I don't know where the other flock went, and I never saw the Greater White-fronted that I was *really* hoping for. But ROGO is nice, indeed. Now we're stuck in Maryland with a broken down car. At least it was near family... Happy holidays, Charlie ===== ************************************************** Charlie Muise, Senior Naturalist Now living in Maryville, TN Still working in Great Smoky Mountains National Park "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" Ralph Waldo Emerson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
