Hi all on 2-22-12 Vince De Sanctis and Danny poet went to Howard County to look for the recently reported Pink Footed Goose where we located it after a while with a cell phone call from another birder in the area . It was a life bird for both . On the way back to my car at the Rt 50 and Rt 404 Park and ride near Wye Mills we made a quick stop at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center in Grasonville Maryland to look for the Eurasian Wigeon . It was not seen however list below .
After getting back to my car it was such a nice day I went to Pickering Creek Audubon Center to have another go at the Virginia's Warbler I got my best but quick looks at it this time eye ring and all highlights below
