The Eastern Flyway is really pumping waterfowl north. Middle Creek bird sanctuary(Lebanon County Pa.) was loaded earlier this week with 130,000 Snow geese(wednesday 3/18 estimate) plus Canada Geese, Swans and a smattering of varied Ducks. I drove by there late thursday afternoon the sky was a "total white out"; I was unable to stop or enter the sanctuary because I was a passenger in a District forester's state owned work truck. I understand that Eastern Shore Maryland is also loaded with migrating waterfowl. I had planned and packed my cameras to go to Middle Creek this morning for the dawn flyout but it was cold very foggy and overcast, I will try again tomorrow. BTW one of the interesting things at Middle creek is the lake and all the ponds are still covered with ice so the birds are roosting / nesting on the ice.
