Got my first list for the GBBC. Went out to Maine Chance Farm (Lexington). The 
good mix of geese was still present with one Ross's, Snow (both blue and white 
phases and one immature), two Cackling and lots of Canada. Got 37 species 
including a nice little flock of Am Tree Sparrows and had to work hard for the 
Savannah and Swamp Sparrows. Even saw a Red Fox hunting one of the fields.
Got a few photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lang-photoshare/)
