[EBB Sightings] Aleutian Cackling Goose in Danville

I went back a few hours later, about 4:00pm and the Cackling Goose was  
nowhere to be found.  Sorry if anyone trudged out there to look for  
the goose. . .

The Bufflehead however is still there.  I've not seen behavior like  
its before.  It consistently hung out with the Canada Geese, the  
Mallards, and the domestic ducks, diving beneath them to feed.  It  
often was only a couple of feet from shore and at times within 15 feet  
of me.

Best regards,
