       At 5:30 until 5:35 this evening I watched a Bar-headed Goose amongst
a flock of about 300 Canada Geese in a recently harvested soybean field.
After those five minutes the bird lifted up with about 100 of the Canada
Geese and flew east-south east over the trees and out of sight.
    The bird was about 100 yards away.  I first saw it through 10x42 binocs,
then pulled up the KOWA spotting scope from the back seat of my truck and
watched at 32 power for a couple of minutes until the bird flew.
    No bands on either leg.  Head barring, back of neck black region, dusky
under chin of otherwide white-headed bird with drab white-grey bird made the
ID pretty easy.
 
    My address:  26329 Martingdale Lane, Easton, MD
        Bird location was in the bean field off Copperville Road, and beside
my driveway.
 
    My phone Number:  410-763-8169
 
    Good luck to anyone who searches.  There are lots of geese in this area,
but many of the fields offer easy viewing.
