Hi all today sat Jan 21, 06 after  birding the best part of the day 
with a friend from Delaware in  Delaware  . I  went through Barclay in 
northern QA county  on Rt 302 on my way home  and saw a huge  flock  of Snow 
Geese on  either side of Big Woods Rd and near it . Rough  estimated number 
5,000 . I turned in here to scope the Snows looking for a Ross's Goose . 
Looking through the flock  and reading 1 neck collar on a snow  yellow with  
black letters EH08 all the geese  got up swireling through the air for about 
  5 to 8 min  before resettling  back in the field  way off the road . 
Looking around to see what had spooked the geese  I noticed an Immature Bald 
eagle in the air it kept on  going to the northwest .   While the snows were 
overhead  I saw one  Ross's Goose .   When I got near Centreville  turned 
onto 213 twords Wye Mills ,  then turning onto RT 309  to the pond  about  1 
mile  away checked the waterfowl here .

Snow Goose      1
Canada Geese     about 100 in a field about a quarter of a mile before the 
pond
Lesser Scaup      20
Ring Necked Duck    32       mostly males
Tundra Swan       10
Bufflehead         3   total       2  male  1 female
Mallard         3
Ruddy Duck    1


Than  near Sunset on  Rolling Biridge  Road  close to Rt 301  a field here  
hosted about 1,000  Snow Geese  . I could not find anything different in 
them .


Happy Birding
