Hi All,

On our way home from town today (18 Oct) we checked Great Oak Pond at 
3:30 PM. There were still about 400 Snow Geese and around 1500 Canada 
Geese there plus Ring-necked Duck, Ruddy Duck, black duck, Green-winged 
Teal, Mallard, and two white domestic Greylags. The family of four 
ROSS'S GEESE first seen on 13 October were feeding in the cut over corn 
field south of the pond with Snow Geese, and a single Richardson's 
CACKLING GOOSE was with the Snow Geese on the south shore of the pond. 
We also had an Osprey and a Northern Harrier at the pond.

Good birding,

Walter Ellison & Nancy Martin
