I'm new to the lsit but not to birding.  This afternoon as we came home 
from a family outing I noticed that there was an odd looking bird amongst 
the many canadian geese in our subdivision's pond.  I went back with 
camera in hand at took some photos of the bird so that I could try to 
identify it.  it turned out to be an Egyptian Goose!  (How the heck did he 
end up in our subdivision's pond?)  I have no idea if this is of any 
significance or not.  I have over 200 pics of the bird if anyone is 
curious.  I tried to call the ohio rare bird alert number but it has been 
disconected. (?)  Is there anyone else I should notify?  Thanks in 
adavance for any help.
