Hi Jack,
I haven't been up recently but it is hunting season and the geese are smart
-- so they often avoid Fir Island and vicinity this time of year. Did you
look out on the Bay? I often find thousands out on the water, sometimes
closer to Whidbey Island.
If you are in Edison, head out toward Samish Island and there are often
large flocks of snow geese as you make the turn on to Samish Island Rd.
I'm sure others will add more tips.
