[PAEE] snow geese migration

[Myers, Gilbert]

To all:
The last 48 hours has seen a significant decline in the number of snow geese here at Middle Creek.  As of today, Thursday, there are only approximately 10, 000 snows here.  A small number of tundra swans are still here & a variety of duck species are still present.  Some good news is that the eaglets have hatched.  The staff is still attempting to determine the number of eaglets.  Stop #4 offers the best vantage point to observe the nest.
