Hi  all  here are some birding highlights  from my weekend . leaving work 
on Fri afternoon  there was a field with some Canada Geese in it, with more 
landing.   As they were coming in one looked very much smaller than the rest 
. I started  scoping  the geese and found 1 Cackling Goose in the   flock.   
I woke sat morning  to  hard steady Rain . But had the birding bug so went  
to Cabin Creek in Grasonville birds there lots of Canada Geese  others

Environmental    Center.  Found Kevin Graff there we birded for a while 
together . I will let him Post results from there. A couple of highlights

As a sidenote   You  Folks have heard me talk of birding at the Reeds Creek 
Public  Boat landing.  It had been  a great and the only public spot to view 
waterfowl on Reeds Creek .   The County without Notice that I know of has 
Closed the area  The road filled in with topsoil  seeded with grass and 
fenced off.   This is in an area that is in my Christmas count area for the 
Kent Co Cicrle  also my May Count Area.  I  Will have to talk to some 
Landowners to get some acess to the creek at least for the above counts.


Happy Birding
