Today (Nov, 1) I flew over the pond viewable from the Dead Creek WMA 
viewing station in order to photograph the flock of Snow Geese (plus a 
couple of Ross's Geese and a Greater White-fronted Goose).  One of the 
photos is posted on the Vermont eBird Pool.

I hand-counted the number of birds in the photo and came up with a total 
of 4641 birds.  The most common estimate of the flock made by several 
viewers on the ground this past weekend was 5000.  Ron Payne, with a 
posting of 4500, was closest to 4641.
