MD Osprey:

As I was headed toward Jones Road on Tuesday, I 
was searching the general area for other goose 
flocks on my way. Sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 
am, I found a large number of Canada Geese 
(~500-700) that had apparently spent the night on 
a large farm pond in the area. Many were on the 
water and some were feeding in the adjacent fields.

I had checked the flock twice before they started 
lifting off and heading north. Obviously, I did 
not find the Pink-footed there, but it might be 
worth a check for future searches. This is less 
than 3 miles from the original PFGO pond.

I just re-located the pond on Google Earth. The GPS coordinates are:

          39°17'42.15"N
          77° 2'56.18"W

This pond is on a large farm on the north side of 
Union Chapel Road across from Bucks Run Road 
(into a subdivision). I had pulled over at Bucks 
Run Road to scan the pond and into the fields.

Hope this helps ...

Phil
