All I found was 36 Tundra Swan on Oak grove Rd and a few more flying about. However, there was a large Snow Goose flock passing by off to the north. They insisted in going off in the opposite direction, so I chased them and found at least part of the flock on the ground in the large field on the southeast corner of White Rd and Houston Branch Rd, east of Federalsburg. But I soon realized that most of the white covering the field was swan. I estimate 2000-2500 of them (comparing to the 1400 I actually counted at Oak Grove last month). There were several thousand Snow Geese, hundreds of Canada Geese and a flyby of 10 Pintail. The flock was much too far away to find anything rarer in the group.
