well fella,s i hate to be the bearer of bad news but got the report from dr.vasiili,the russian biologist at wrangell isl.apparantly the weather up to the nesting season was good and then a week or so before the nesting started an artic front moved inand dumped a pile of snow then got real cold.there is only a 5% juvinile survival. so we are going to be like 2 yrs. ago. good news for the farmers not so good for the snow goose hunter.....fowl
