Hi Everyone,

This past Saturday (12 Dec 2009) I spent about an hour at West Ocean City Pond in Worcester County.  Four other birders stopped by while I was there--Jessica Gorzo and her mom and two other folks who didn't mention their names.  Interestingly all asked about Redheads, so I pointed them toward the Bayside Development Pond as a place to try.  Wouldn't you know it, after everyone else had left, a nice drake Redhead drifted into view.

The diversity at West OC Pond is nice now, so I thought I'd post the full list.

Have fun,
