Hi all this afternoon   Sat Feb  5, 05  I  decieded to try for the  Snow 
Buntings  I  found  on 1 - 27 - 05  in Centreville   No such Luck  only a 
few Horned Larks .   Leaving here went back to Rt 301  by way of Rolling 
Bridge Rd crossed 301 continued on Rolling Bridge  just passed  the first   
manure pile on the right  at the Vegtable farm .  Many more  Horned Larks 
here  though no  Buntings or Longspurs.    farther back in and near the 
irrgation  pond were lots of Canada geese     Estimated to be about 800 also 
had about 200  Snow  Geese  tried scaning for a Ross's no luck they were 
pretty far out there. I decided to go Back to 301 for a closer look   . 
THOUGH I DO NOT RECOMEND IT    I stopped on the shoulder of South bound  301 
  across from were the geese  feeding .    More Snows came in as well as  
Canada  Geese    estimated numbers  Canadas   1,000 plus     Snows About  
800 or so.  Still could not find  Ross"s   .
       But I  did See  a lone   BRANT   feeding  behind    and at the  edge 
of the  fock  Of Canada  Geese.    Last Year there was a lone Brant hanging 
with a large flock of Snows not far from here on Rt 309  at tha first pond  
near  Rt 213 . Last year   same flock of Snows and  Brant also seen in 
Caroline Co.
