I found the snow geese Deb mentioned, about 20-25, with 1 adult blue morph, by themselves in the ag field, possibly about one field further west. If you park in the entrance to the YMCA Camp and look across (slightly northeast toward a yellow piece of farm equipment near the forest, they were midway, in a sheltered down-slope area in front of a thin line of trees. The Canada Geese flock was in a field just north/west of them, not visible from 79.
