At Great Oak Pond about 7:40 this morning:
Hudsonian Godwit 2
Cackling Goose {Richardson's} fly over
Snow Goose {lots until a Bald Eagle flew over - We were scanning for Ross's
Goose} The disturbance caused the Hudsonians to move even closer {I was able
to  get several photos}; Walter Ellison joined us {Barbara Gearhart - Hudsonian
was  her 300th MD bird, Gary Smyle} and we went to the Worton Sewerage
Treatment  Plant on Chinquapin Road {DeLorme map p.60, between 1&2, B&C - NNW  of
Chestertown}
Ross's Goose 5
Snow Goose 5000-6000
Snow blues 75
Barn Swallow 1
Geese with neck collar IDs 20 {Walter was ecstatic - He recorded all of the
numbers!}
