They were on the AA Co. side of the river, and yes, another new species for my yard list. Near as i could tell, they were of the Greenland persuasion, having quite orange beaks. The evening of Dec. 28 (around 4:30) i found them again, only now there were 3! This is the same flock of geese that frequents Merkle WMA, Patuxent River Park, Greenock Road, etc, so they could be most anywhere on any given day. Selby Landing and the adjacent "Canoe Camp" in Patuxent River Park are probably the best places to look. Jeff Shenot found one of them from the P.G. side on Dec 29, but i have not seen them since. danny bystrak bristol, AA Co.
