The Brant Geese are on the move again. Brant make one of the most amazing migrations twice each year. Over 140,000 Pacific Brant migrate along the pacific flyway in the spring from Baja to the Izembek lagoon on the Alaska Peninsula, stopping to rest and feed on the eel grass along the way. We spotted them in Blain, WA in Birch Bay last weekend.
 This has to be my favorite goose.
I used to be in charge of several flocks when I worked at Northwest Wildfowl and grew to love their personalities.
 I could watch them for hours.
This coming weekend there is a festival called Wings Over Water NW Birding Festival in their honor, in Blaine Washington. There is also the Brant Wildlife Festival in Canada which we have attended many times and the Brant always seem to oblige and show up.
