I went to Hooper's Island around 8:00 am this morning and got the 
Eurasian Collared Doves at Hoopers Island at 2363 Hooper's Island Road 
(the address mentioned originally not the address Bob Ringler 
reported).  I originally saw only 1 bird on the wire from my sunroof as 
I drove underneath it but when I stopped and jumped out, both doves flew 
into the yard on the West side of the road.  Then I went to Blackwater 
NWR.  I found a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE there and a Cackling Goose.  
Both were in the last stretch of the Wildlife Drive before you come out 
on Route 335.  I counted only 20 AM. WHITE PELICANS in the same general 
area.  Then I stopped on the way home at Schoolhouse Pond.  The ROSS' 
GOOSE was not there but I found it (and George Jett who was trying to 
get photos) at Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary.  There was at least one 
Cackling Goose there as well.
