I was sitting in a deer stand at noon on Monday 11/7 in western Carlton County. A flock of white fronted geese flew over me. I didn't count them, but there were probably between 50-100. They were relatively low and constantly yodeling. They were flying SSW into a fairly strong south wind. Like Randy mentioned, I have never seen a flock of specklebellies in the eastern half of MN.

Never seen this species in Todd county in the fall before and other than individual birds, I almost never encounter this species in Minnesota outside of March or early April. This fall WFGO has been reported weekly in the state. Anyone know why this species is migrating so far east this fall??
