HI all, 

After a visitor left this afternoon, we set out for Poolesville, joining
three 
other birders looking for the White-fronted Goose in Stevens Park. We had 
already checked the fields along Rt. 107 on the way in to the town, we also 
re-checked on way out but no geese seen. Obviously they move around a 
bit.

Anyway, down to Riley's Lock where a passing kayaker spooked all the 
waterfowl down near Seneca Breaks, and they did a lovely fly-by -- best 
bird was a WHITE-WINGED SCOTER in with the Redheads (20-25 
estimated), Lesser Scaup, American Wigeon and a few Gadwall. There 
were also three Tundra Swans which took off to the south. The only 
Grebes were about 10 Horned and 2-3 Pied-bill. That doesn't mean the 
Red-necked wasn't around but we didn't see it despite a lot of scoping 
from both Riley's and Violette's Locks.

I really prefer "double-dipping" when it refers to ice cream and not birds!
