A more frequent ‘spec’-tacle: White-fronted goose sightings on the rise in Minnesota

Steve Cordts has a plan, albeit a tentative one.
In the rafters of his garage, stowed away in decoy bags, rest four dozen white-fronted goose shells, decoys that have neither seen the light of day nor a well-scouted agriculture field in some time. He took them down last autumn, but never had the opportunity to deploy them. Back into the rafters they went.
“I couldn’t find any birds in October … even though I knew some were around,” said Cordts, who last shot a white-fronted goose many moons ago in prairie Canada. “I’ve definitely been thinking about it again for this year."
A decade or so ago, a statement like that would have been unheard of, perhaps even the ravings of a Minnesota waterfowler gone mad.
