Wow! That would be! Funny, I had always thought snow geese were an endangered species, but I Googled and discovered that they are doing well. Yay!

The Peregrine Chick:
Holy cats, Windygates in the Pembina Valley reported 22 peregrines going through yesterday (April 25th). That brings this year's total through the valley to 57 when it is normally 2!
Just a note, the Pembina Valley site has had what a much more experienced birder called a "sustained and more organized hawk watch" the last couple of years but still this number is astounding! Who knows who might turn up where or how far west some of these birds may be heading ...
Wishing I'd been at Windygates yesterday ... :'(
allikat:
Sorry... Could not find te "hawkcount" thread... So, if anyone has been on that site lately, you might want to. The hawks are on the move. 6 peregrines were spotted at Windygates hawk site the other day, and 1 Peregrine was spotted in St. Adolphe! Very interesting....
From TPC: moved post to migration threat
RCF:
One peregrine spotted on March 17th in Borrego Valley and 585 Swainson's hawks. :o
