First thing this morning I followed up on reports of seven Greater White-fronted Geese from the past couple of days. Unfortunately, the birds were not present at the reported location. I spent the morning birding and eventually ended up at a small pond in the outskirts of the Black Dirt Region. As I scanned, I found some Greater White-fronted Geese and thought, great I found the seven!… but, I kept scanning and the pond was loaded with GWFGs! I put the word out, and Linda Scrima joined me and we had a total count of 26 individuals! It blew the previous high count for the county out of the water. But it gets better! Linda went directly to the original location and found 2 more individuals. And then, later in the afternoon, Jeanne Cimorelli and Curt McDermott had a count of 27! Jeanne followed up by going to the second location and got 2 more for a total of 29 Greater White-fronted Geese for the day! Incredible birding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
