Thanks for the update on the PFGO. I and the Alberta birders are hoping to =
see it on Friday so any postings of location and time of day are greatly ap=
preciated. Does the tide level affect there time of arrival to the fields?=

=0A=0AWhen the geese are not in this area, it seems that they are usually=
