Did a quick (8:45-9:35am) walk around Schoolhouse Pond in Upper Marlboro, PG County this morning.

	Highlight was a Cackling Goose, paddling conveniently close to the boardwalk. Also a small profusion (2-3) of Ruby-Crowned Kinglets.

	Also:

	_ Yellow-Rumped Warbler
	_ DC Cormorant (5!)
	_ SPARROWS: Swamp, Song, White-Throated, House
	_ WOODPECKERS: Downy, Northern Flicker
	_ American Goldfinch (2)


	Lots of gulls flying high overhead. No Purple Finches, Pine Siskins or Crossbills.
	Good Birding!
