I'l surprised Jay McGowan didn't post this, but around noon, as the tens of thousands of geese were passing over "Mt. Sapsucker:" on the slope above the Fuller Wetlands, a group of 19 TUNDRA SWANS passed overhead in a flock of geese. I believe these were my first ever at Sapsucker Woods. In the brief period I watched, we had a single CACKLING GOOSE, and only 3 SNOW GEESE, plus a flock of COMMON GRACKLES -- I'm sure Jay had much more.
