Protocol: Traveling
7.0 mile(s)
Comments: A rainy day at the start had me headed out to Sauvie Island thinking birding from the car would be the way to go. By the time i got there the rain had stopped and allowed for a tour around Wapato, a drive out the dike through both counties and then down Reeder and Rentenaar Roads. The Snow Geese are back!
