In my field, we didn’t really see a goose until 11:30. Between 11:30 and 4:30 we picked up 28, which was our high field. We didn’t see an overwhelming number of birds but those we saw did it right. Low field shot 6. About half the fields were in teen or twenties. The other half was single digits. It was an OK hunting day. One of the guides said today was the most birds he saw maybe all year in one day…Maybe…but all of us didn’t see that many of them. 

Believe it or not, today was our first band of the year. This has been a good year, and it’s really hard to believe this is our first. It was a Ross Goose banded 8/3/2022 as an adult.
