Specks are on the move!
Reports are starting to roll in from friends across the country who are seeing the first migrating White-fronted Geese of the year.
In typical fashion, the earliest travelers are Pacific Flyway specklebellies, with birds showing up along the coast and inland across Washington and Oregon. Sightings are already reaching as far south as Klamath and into California.
Moving east, the Central Flyway is beginning to see its first arrivals as well, with reports of family groups of white-fronts showing up south of Calgary, Alberta.
Farther east in Saskatchewan, specks are just beginning to push below the tree line of the boreal forest in areas like Loon Lake, with scattered reports of flocks as far south as Swift Current.
White-fronts always seem to lead the way and kick off the fall migration. The first reports are in, birds are moving, and we can’t wait to see what the coming weeks bring!
