Hi all  a quick report that a late afternoon vist to the Rt 309  Pond  
that is about  1 mile from Rt 213 and near  Centreville  was  about 90 to 95 
percent  ice covered .   But did have a  open water area in the center kept 
open by  the waterfowl using  it  .  There was an interesting mix of  
waterfowl there   no geese  around  except the Snow Geese  presant in the 
area most of the winter  . They kept circling around  checking out the pond  
and dissappear but reappear after a while . This was repeated several times  
while I was there .    Not enough open water I guess .  Birds Seen
