Subject: [MDOSPREY] Greater White-fronted Goose, Carroll County, 12/12 
 
This evening my brother Mike and I found a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE  
at Cranberry Reservoir in Carroll County. Accompanying it were  700  
Canada Geese, two Cackling Geese, Ruddy Ducks, Northern Pintails,  
Ring-necked Ducks, Mallards, Black Ducks, Hooded Mergansers, American  
Coots, and a single Greater Scaup. 
 
We birded the first half of the day in Cecil where most of the action  
was at Perryville Community Park. We didn't find any unusual species,  
but the numbers were impressive, including 1550 Tundra Swans, thousands  
of scaup, hundreds of Canvasbacks and more. Another highlight was seeing  
5 Snow Geese at North East Community Park. 
 
We also got a chance to see the Carroll Co. Sandhill Crane in its usual  
spot around 4pm and Jon Corcoran's Black-headed Gull on our way south  
from Cecil in the late afternoon.
