Found a Brant among 1000+ Cackling/Canada Geese at Hidden Lake today. One of the first ten geese I saw, before I lifted my bins. What luck. eBird checklist with pics here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S33007811
-- I went back an hour later and searched for nearly an hour and it was nowhere to be found. A previously undetected Greater White-fronted Goose wasn't much consolation.
IMPORTANT: Hidden Lake is almost entirely private. You may scope the lake from two bookending locations: the county open space adjoining Sheridan on the west end or the park with baseball fields on the east end. All other access points are open only to residents. The geese move around a lot in this area, and I'd recommend also checking Lake Arbor and Jim Baker Reservoir.
It's been fun to move into this neighborhood and begin to build Hidden Lake's bird list. This was unexpected. I'll post again if I see it return.
