We found one of the two rare geese today in the flooded quarry on 
Farnham Mill Rd., Onslow.  We saw the Barnacle Goose when we first 
arrived at the quarry, and then spent 1 1/2 hrs checking over the 
2000-3000 Canada Geese, but couldn't find the Pink-footed Goose. The 
Canadas were coming and going in large and small flocks, but our 
impression was that a lot of them were leaving and heading SW. There is 
ice forming on the quarry, and the wind was bitter.  Many thanks to 
Harold Connolly, who lives in the area and who scouted out the 
cornfields before we arrived, so we knew the geese were not there, but 
at the quarry.
