Hi All, A Quick Update on the BARNACLE GOOSE.  It was seen today by many
birders with the best news being that everyone that tried for the bird saw it 
along with a couple of CACKLING, and the GREATER WHITE-FRONTED.  Only the
Greater Snow Goose seemed to be missing.   The RED-HEADED WOODPECKER was not
seen by any of our group but the owners of house # 130 said that they heard it
earlier in the morning.  It may be that the Merlin that was present was causing
the bird to stay out of sight.  All the geese were basically at the same spot
as yesterday but in the field on the opposite side of the street making house
#130 on McWIlliam Road the best viewing location although all the geese could
certainly be seen from the main road.  Other highlights included a flock of
Bohemian Waxwings, small numbers of Horned Larks & Lapland Longspurs.  We had
no luck with the Gray Partridge when we tried but did discover a new road that
allows one to easily walk into the harvested corn fields.  Just past the
Wendy's a road runs between the Comfort Inn & the Irving gas station and is
called Meadow Road.  - Cheers, Clarence
