There was a loose flock of approx 160 Canada Geese in the bay at the very 
northeastern edge of the park (along the Shoreline Trail). Mixed in the flock 
were a single Ross's Goose and a single Cackling Goose.  They were moving 
around quite a bit, and both split time in the water of the bay and on the 
opposite shore in some residential backyards, but they were always in the 
company of some Canada's. A scope is advised; the Ross's stood out immediatley, 
but the scope helped nail down the ID.

Later on I heard several Sandhill Cranes bugling overhead, but unfortunately I 
was in a wooded area and I never saw them through the trees.
