    Hi all   .   Bill you are correct thar the Chesapeake Bay  Environmental 
Center  used to have  Captive birds. They do not have  any now except for a  
Trumpeter Swan in the pond area at the vistor Center . They mostly housed  
Native waterfowl even  when they had captive birds .  But I  seem to 
remember a drake  white Cheeked Pintail  in the vistor center pond  a few 
years back .   On  Sun morning  Jan 29 I tried to relocate kevin Graff's Red 
Necked Grebe he had on sat but had no luck in doing so . Also tried to find 
the Eurasian Wigeon  again  no luck with that as well  . The rain set in and 
it was  unpleastant to  be out  in it so  I  tried some car birding nearby  
Cabin Creek had   2  male Red Breasted Mergansers , Jackson  Creek  , 
Prospect Bay and  Kent Narrows  each  had   Common  Loon. this is all in the 
Grasonville area.

Happy Birding
