Laura Coble and I were pleasantly surprised to find that, despite the  
strong winds, there was plenty still to see at Lake Byllesby this  
afternoon.

We conservatively counted over 60 Greater White-fronted Geese.

Saw what we think was a Solitary Sandpiper among the Killdeer.

Also Gadwalls, Green-winged Teals, Am Widgeons, N. Shoveler, Ring- 
necked Ducks, Com. Merganser, and a flock of 200+ Red-winged Blackbirds.

The two white "mystery geese" were also there. We mostly saw them  
from the rear because of the wind, but did see black primaries.

Would appreciate help with what the final consensus is on these two!
