Visited Farmington Bay yesterday, Friday, 28 Mar 2008.  The Cackling Canada Goose was still there in the "pasture" south of Glover Lane and east of the Visitor Center entrance road.  Hundreds of American Widgeon, but no Eurasian Widgeon.  Maybe next year.  Also saw my first Eared Grebe of the year.  Here is the list:
