The *Cackling Goose* reported yesterday by Gary Strauss continued this morning on the Centerport Mill Pond as viewed from the DEC property on Centershore Road. Note that the bird was previously seen on Tung Ting Pond, the adjacent pond that can be viewed from the Chalet Motor Inn parking lot. This was an especially small individual with a very "frosty" appearance. There was no hint of a neck ring even when the bird was in alert posture.

On the far side of the pond was the continuing male *Eurasian Wigeon *first found by Derek Rodgers in December, now in full breeding plumage. Also present were *52 Canvasback,* two Redheads, and an immature Double-crested Cormorant.
