Drove to Castalia Pond to see if the White-fronted geese were still there- 
read it on post here several days ago. They were still there, among the 
throngs of Shovelers, Mallards, Baldpates, Am. Widgeons, Canada geese, and 
about 24 Black ducks. The White-fronted geese were resting on the lawn at 
the west side of the pond. I counted 5 but there were more hidden behind a 
small knoll- but didn't want to disturb them by finding out how many 
altogether. Neat looking birds. The sun shone directly on them and all the 
ID marks were highlighted: white base of bill, irregular black markings on 
belly and the definite yellow/pinkish feet and legs. Wish I had a 
telescopic camera outfit!!! On way back to Fremont on Rt. 6, there's two 
Bald Eagle nests to the north in a grove of trees in the middle of a 
barren field, across Rt. 6 from the M&M Tavern. Saw one eagle sitting 
close to the larger nest. Robert in Fremont
