Received a report this morning from Mark Shave that the Snow Geese and Greater White-fronted Geese were still at Mosquito Creek on the reservoir. I arrive about 10:45 am but did not see them for an hour. As I left to search the Wildlife Area for them (feeding, I hoped!) I heard tremendous honking and hundreds of geese and ducks were leaving the fields west of the reservoir and heading to the lake, right over my head! I snapped some pics, watched them on the water for a while, and after about 20 minutes they returned to the fields. Great views about 1.6 miles west on Denman-Mahan Road, looking at the small lake to the north. A real surprise was three Ross's Geese in with the Snow's. Here are some pictures: https:[log in to unmask] eBird checklist submitted. Thanks to Larry Richardson & others who watched with me for help with the Ross's Geese.
