I've been seeing loads of birds with big clutches and well developed poults.   It looks like hunters will be eating lots of young birds next spring!  :)   
I'll try to get a photo of some of the poults, but they are really well developed (fully feathered) and nearly as large as the hen!

I have four hens now that I see on a regular basis, two hens have 7 poults each that are fully feathered and half the size of mom and two hens that have two poults each, one set is fully developed and one hen has two poults that are about the size of big quail.

I saw a new batch of birds today..in a weird spot.  Put it this way..in the near future geese may not be the only thing we hunt out of corn fields in  Moses Lake.. :)
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

Definitely the best hatch in at least three years, saw lots of young birds before heading out to montana, even seeing poults over here......
