Hi all,


    After the bird count in Frederick, I made a quick
stop at Black Hill to see the Bonaparte's Gulls. Not a
single gulls of any kinds there. Afterward, went up to
the pond in hope for WF Geese reported on the 25th.
Relocated two birds on a field not far from the pond. 
Cackling Goose was found with 897 Canada Geese about a
mile up the road from the pond. The pond has only 326
geese there.
