Bean Goose seen today between 12:20 & 12:40 PM. I & others searched all
morning, starting 7:45 AM, without success. Finally I saw it in company of
9 geese near end of runway, except on north side of Sandpiper Trail. This
group flew off toward the runway side of the trail, and then out over the
water and I could not relocate it.

Strong SE wind & rain all morning, alternating with rain & wind from the SE.
Later, after about 12:15, wind switched to SW, for brief period (30 to 45
minutes) of no rain, followed shortly thereafter by rain & wind, from the
SW, continuing at least till I left at 1:15 PM.
