Does anyone know where the snow geese hang out this time of year?

Are there any back in BC yet?

Did some never leave?

Few still around but most are south of the border.Fraser estuary is the
Main staging area before they head north.

During the week I saw them flying above Richmond. Not sure if those ones ever left. I didn't go out today though and probably won't until after weekend.

Was out yesterday and today. Yesterday I saw no sign of snowies at all from the Fraser islands.

Today I saw scattered flocks rise up from Ladner and head to Richmond across the Fraser. Unfortunately, not where I was. I got a Canada today though. A nice 12 lber.

Thinking about heading out to the Brunswick tomorrow morning anyone know if they are around that area at all.

Spent both an early morning and evening near Brunswick having a look, lots (a lot, many, tons) of ducks and a handful of swans but not a goose in sight. Hope others have had better luck.

Saw a first for me in the 13 years I have lived in the neighborhood. Saw a few snows mixed in with the resident Canada crap machines while walking the dog down around Kits Point in Vancouver.

I live on the small Lake in Oliver, there's been 2 snows mixes in with the few hundred Canada's that return to the lake most evenings. Over the years that I hunted them at the coast we quite often saw the odd one mixed in

I potted a snowie once that was mixed in with a flight of Canadas at Brunswick. At first I held up because at the time Canadas were not in season but then I noticed flying third in line in the V was a lone snowie keeping up with its larger cousins. They circled my snowie spread as if wanted to deliver the outlier back to its brethren and I nailed it without touching a feather of the Canadas. The Canadas then flew off without any panic at all.
