>From Fred Lesser:
"Today [Sunday, 3/25] Alex Tongas and I found 2 ROSS'S GEESE near the lake on Featherbed Lane at 8:00 AM [white phase]. Then we found the female BREWERS BLACKBIRD in the feed lot with the bulls towards Woodstown a few minutes later. We had good looks at the back of the lot. If was a darker grey and slightly larger than the female Cowbirds. We also noticed a greenish sheen in the sunlight. Then about a 1000 cowbirds showed up and the Brewers was impossible to find. About noon we found an adult WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE with about 5000 Snows just north of Botswick Lake [4 crane sp] on Watson's Canhouse Rd. 1.7 mile south of the junction with Rt. 611 in Salem County."
