Caitlin Kight inquired as to whether the Snow Goose observation in Athens was a first. I have been here since 1979 and have never observed nor heard of a Snow Goose in Athens or even the surrounding counties. I am looking for Hank Seibert's compilation of all records for Athens from 1947 to 1997 (I have a copy someplace but I moved a year and a half ago and many things are in boxes) but I don't recall that he had listed a Snow Goose. I shall continue to look for his list. Scott Moody ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
