My wife and I just got back from an unsuccessful search for the 
Greater White-fronted Goose in North Bethesda.  We were at the pond 
for about 10 minutes, starting at around 9 a.m., Thursday 12/4. Only 
waterfowl in sight:  5 tame Mallards.  Per Leslie Starr's post, the 
geese that were there at first light this morning went off to feed 
elsewhere at 7:45 a.m.  I think it certainly would be good to check 
the original site periodically, perhaps late this afternoon.

We also checked nearby Timberlawn Park (mostly ball fields), which 
looks like the sort of place that geese would sometimes stop to 
graze, but no geese there either.
