The pond on Cold Spring Road between Middle and Quarry Rds in the Town of
Caledonia is roosting hundreds of ducks and geese, mostly mallards and Canadas,
but also included at least 3 Greater White-fronted Geese and a few black ducks
and my first Gadwall of the season. The geese were flying out

Is it any better when a birder flushes a bird for something even more

With the cluster of rare waterfowl being seen in this location, and the
indication that at least the Pochard is an escapee it would be good to know

moron season and he heard that was a good spot to go after photographers

If there were strong storms in the area it is more likely that the birds were
caught in a strong downdraft (microburst?) and knocked out of the air and
