[obol] Aleutian Geese

[Wayne Hoffman]

The Semidi geese winter at Pacific City, in Tillamook County.  The number 
seems to be fairly stable at a couple of hundred birds.  They may well be 
the ones from "another island" rediscovered later.  They nest one just one 
or two of the Semidis, and apparently go over to stage on the Alaska 
Peninsula for a while in late summer before migrating south.
