Hi Don,

We are thinking of trying for the Ross' Goose tomorrow, but we have very 
little time to check for it, as we can't leave my Dad alone for very 
long.  Could you tell me where you saw it in a little more detail (just 
in case it stays in the same place!)?

Thanks for the ad, by the way!

Lois
