The Greater White-fronted Goose and Cackling Geese were NOT present at Centennial Lake in Columbia, MD on 12/24 from 10:00 am - 11:00 am. Duck numbers were also down and there is very little ice left on the lake. The geese could show up later and small flocks of geese were moving while I was there.
