We were not able to relocate the Brant. I was last seen just south of
Fulton Pond, leading a flock of about 25 Canada Geese. It dropped below the
tree line and was lost. Hopefully it is still nearby and someone will
re-find it. A great Howard record by Kurt Schwarz.
According to Birding Howard County there have just been two previous
records.
"Rare. Two records. October 27, 1957, (six birds), and November 8, 1959,
(three birds); both from Triadelphia Reservoir."
