    This afternoon when I stopped in the park after a bike ride, there were lots 
    of Canada Geese on the north ball fields.  I went home, changed bikes and 
    grabbed binoculars.  Pretty careful counting indicated there were 298 Canada 
    Geese, then about 8 more landed.  I'm not sure if they flew from another 
    part of the park or from the other end of the ball fields, either way, that 
    is a lot of geese.
    
    Mixed in with them were the Greater White-fronted Goose, two Cackling Geese 
    and the white domestic goose that hangs out with them and flies off when 
    they do.
    
    The fields have been re-opened for use and three baseball players were 
    already practicing hitting and shagging flies.
