There was an immature *Greater White-fronted Goose *with around 400 Canadas on Tung Ting Pond along Centershore Road in Centerport this morning at 8:15. The geese began leaving around 9:00 when I drove by later. The previously reported waterfowl continues on the pond, now including six Lesser Scaup. Below is a list of waterfowl highlights at various ponds in the area:
