Sitka/Birds: Greater White-fronted Goose
Sitka Summary: Typically seen only during Spring and Fall migration. In spring, typically a few dozen birds are seen on the ground briefly over the period. In rare years there have been hundreds that spend more time. In the fall, non flyover sightings are less common and typically of fewer individuals, though some are present for days or weeks before moving on. Observations of this species through the winter are unusual. Very Rare in summer with birds occasionally lingering into June. Spring migrants typically depart by the last week of May, with the earliest fall observations in late August.
