Today about 5:30 PM I located the Ross's Goose with a flock of Canadas 
on a small pond on the west side of Dodson's Crossroad, just north of 
the (currently unmarked) intersection with Arthur Minnis Rd.  This is 
the west end of the unpaved section of Arthur Minnis.
This pond is also in the back yard of a house.  Please show respect for 
private property if you visit the site.  The view from the roadside is 
excellent.
I actually noticed that there were geese on this pond last night at dusk 
as I rushed past on my way to view a nearly goose-less pond at Anilorac 
Farm.  I also noticed that they appeared to be all gone this morning 
about 7:30 as I passed by on my way to view a nearly goose-less pond at 
Anilorac Farm.  So it's possible that this is the flock's regular 
overnight location but they arrive late and leave first thing in the 
morning.
