1 Mar 2011. Seems the majority of snows have departed Logans Lane, still small flock of less than 1,000 using the sanctuary. Didn't see any in fields around Little Creek, maybe further north Bombay Hook could be staging. Saw a handful of Canada, plenty of shore birds, hawks, terns and gulls. Pair of Marsh Hawks and Bald Eagles were seen today.

Travelled up to Woodland Beach and set up blind 42. Several small flocks of 50 or less passed by outside shooting range at 8:30 thru (a.m. Next flock flew by at 10:30 a.m, about three hundred birds. Plenty of dark geese, noticed birds were flying from North South, saw one flock flying southeast towards bay or Jersey. At 11:00 a.m packed upheading home, saw a dlock of 500 to 800 birds leaving Bomb Bay hook heading west towards Smyrna at 12 noon. Scouted Kitts Hummock and saw two large flocks of 500 or more snows heading North over the bay. Checked Davey Crocket and found a large flock of 3,000-5,000 birds in the refuge area. Will try to set up on blind 19 tommorrow in all the wind and rain.This dare last year we had a blizzard and we had really excellent shooting around the Little Creek area.

Last year the snow goose migration began March 5 thru the end of march with a few stragglers hanging about. Last week there were ten of thousands of snows between Prime Hook and Little Creek Delaware. Canadas were stagging and in big flocks to the east of Felton on Rte 10. I have been out this past weekend and seen no Canadas in the field nor have any flocks of snows flew over the house. I have called my sons on Kent Island, Md and Ocean City N.J as well as my sister in Church Hill , Md to inquire about snows. None of my family reports seeing any. I'm beginning to think that they have left here by last weekend with maybe a few straggler flocks staying longer.I tried to locate a migration report to see if the snows are in NY State so as not to wasre my time in a blind with only the wind blowing in my face. If anyone has spotted the snows please let us know flock size and where sighted.
