On Saturday, January 16, 1999 there was one adult White-fronted 
Goose in a flock of 5000+ Snow Geese in Queen Anne's County MD.  The 
flock was feeding with swans in a field on Route 309 a half mile north of 
Route 404.  Hunters killed one Snow Goose in this flock.  The birds were 
also disturbed by a stunt pilot who was buzzing the area, but they 
continued to return to the same field.  Other good birds for the day were 
a dozen Common Mergansers on the Tuckahoe River at Covey's Landing.  
Here the hunters missed.
