They were not very cooperative for photos but I did get distant shots of one of them up at a time. I think the other geese are Cacklers as they seem to have a purplish sheen to their breasts and are smaller than the Snows.









I called Paul Sullivan while I was looking at them and he came out and checked off his first Yamhill County Snow Geese of 2019. I wish they would come land in one of our fields so I could add them to my farm list.
