The Ross's Goose was in Kent County today but not at Great Oaks. It was far out in a field on Worton Road Rt 297 about 4 miles as the bird flies. From Chestertown head North on 213 turn left onto 297 and the farm about a mile on the right has a big pond and field that held about 500 Snow Geese. The Ross's was in the front of the flock.
