Word has it the Snow and Ross' Geese left Lake Artemesia in College Park late yesterday. As of 10:20 a.m. Tuesday 2-10 there are no white geese on the lake. Lots of Canada Geese (no Cackling I could find), coots, Ring-billed Gulls, Mallards, Ruddy and Ring-necked Ducks. A pair of Hooded Mergansers. A Horned Grebe. Pied-billed Grebes. A single drake Redhead. 

Here's to hoping the Ross' Geese come back later.
