I'm looking for information on a pond referenced in an ebird checklist, either in or near the Argilla-Northgate-Essex road field complex in Ipswich. I've viewed geese here from the roads before, from several vantage points, but I am not familiar with ponds other than a small one on Heartbreak Road. I stopped by these fields today and didn't find a pond that could hold 600-700 geese. (There were just 4 geese on the fields, but 150 flying over, most heading west.) I read in this checklist a reference to a "pond down the lane" with 600-700 geese (Canadas and one snow goose), on 12/29: https://ebird.org/checklist/S78219919 Can anyone provide tips? Thanks. -Valerie Burdette Bolton, MA <sailorgirl978...>
