Hi All,

Late this afternoon I stopped at the Goose viewing area in Addison to try for a 
Cackling Goose. There were plenty of Snow Geese and in decent viewing 
range but no Cackling variety with them. While looking at the Geese I heard 
some Greater Yellowlegs and located them in flight and watched where they 
landed. I went over to that area and found:

5 Greater Yellowlegs
2 Pectoral Sandpipers
1 White-rumped Sandpiper

The shorebirds were flying back and forth between the virtual pond(east of 
the viewing platform) and the first cornfield(flooded) toward the east. 

I did not count the Geese at all but if I had to take a guess, I would estimate 
around 4,000 Snow Geese.

I also saw :

1 Snow Bunting
1 Horned Lark
2 Northern Harrier

Enjoy Birds,

Jim Mead
