I checked Rocky Gap SP this morning.  No sign of the Cackling Geese but
the geese were all moving around quite a bit.  I did eventually count
about 100 Canadas at the park.  There were about 100 more at the
Cumberland Terminus too.  All birds in this post are from today
(11/24).

McCagh's Pond (Mason Road)
GADWALL 1  (county year bird 209)
Mallard 15

Rocky Gap SP
Canada Goose ~100
Tundra Swan 1
SNOW BUNTING 1 (county year bird 210)

While at Rocky Gap, I also saw two birds fly over giving a call that
sounded to me like Common Redpoll (tick tick tick - chu chu chu) but I
wasn't entirely convinced and I couldn't relocate them.  Ah well ...

Cumberland Terminus (in the pouring rain)
Canada Geese ~100
Mallard 10
