Monroe, et. al.

Thousands have been moving out of Charles Co. for the past two days. 
Breeding will begin soon.

Watch all the flocks that fly by.  That is how I got a Snow Goose on my yard 
list a couple years ago.  You could pick up Snow, Greater White-fronted, 
Cackling, or Ross's in the flocks.
