[pct-l] OT - Geese Migration - Any fowl experts?

[Tortoise]

I've also seen large flocks of Aleutian Cackling Geese (formerly 
Canadian Aleutian Geese) flying around. I don't know if they are flying 
on north or if they have just arrived early for feeding before heading 
on to the Aleutian Islands.
