In the middle of October, Luanne Johnson and I watched a single snow goose fly into Sengekontacket Pond from offshore. It is odd to spot a single snow goose.

That is what snow geese look like coming in for a landing. I have seen huge flocks of snow geese in Chesapeake Bay and in New Mexico, but never on the Vineyard.
