Ospreyers:

        At the end of last year when we first saw the Cackling Geese at Rocky
Gap, Ray and I talked with an employee at the park. He agreed to call my cell
phone on those rare mornings when the lake is covered with white birds. I
never
really expected that he'd keep the promise but I got a call at 6:30 am this
morning. I called Ray's house and we all got to see the Swans before going to
work.
