[Birdtalk] Bear River Bird Refuge And Snow Geese.

[birdnet at skylace.net]

I couldn't find the snow geese today in their usual
fields near Corrine. (There was heavy equipment
working in the field.) I explored about 20 square 
miles around Corrine looking for them. Didn't find
them.

Also visited the Bear River Bird Refuge. Here 
is my list.
