| Taking a ride to Lake Erie earlier this week I spotted some geese I had never seen before. Checking my Sibley's I see they are Pale-bellied Brant geese. A new lifer for me too. They winter on the East coast, and don't normally get this far inland. I'm wondering if hurricane Sandy had something to do with it??

Great looking geese - we don't get many geese in this part of world. I used to like seeing them in the winter in the UK.
