It took a lot longer than a half hour, but we finally found Walter's ROSS'S GOOSE on Great Oak Pond this afternoon, Thursday Oct. 8. Joe got some good photos, which will be on his Flickr site soon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41142725@N07/

More geese had apparently arrived since yesterday. I estimated around 300 snow and 500 canada.

While there, I heard a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH calling from across the street.
