Hi,

I stopped at Horsehead wetland yesterday on my way back from seeing the 
Harlequin Duck on the Choptank (and from not seeing the White Pelicans at 
Blackwater).

Horsehead had a good variety of waterfowl, including a Drake Eurasion 
Wigeon on Lake Knapp - probably the same one reported earlier by Jim 
Brighton.

The channel had Oldsquaw, Surf and Black Scoter, Lake Knapp had  Am Wigeon, 
Gadwall, Ruddies and Hooded Mergs, and Marshy Creek had Canvasbacks, Scaup, 
Buffleheads, and a Redhead.

There was also a Cackling Goose reported from the pond viewable from inside 
their visitor center.  I quickly spotted a small goose before it wandered 
out of sight.  It had a square head and a stubby bill.  It was not quite as 
small as I would have liked, and I did not get a good look at its back, but 
I expect that it is a Cackling Goose.

Tom
