----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Joseph Brin <brinjos...@yahoo.com> To: oneidabi...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sat, October 2, 2010 6:25:56 PM Subject: Snow Geese As reported by others before, there are three SNOW GEESE at Mercer Park on the Seneca River in Baldwinsville. Apparently they have been there since late summer. This in itself is not unusual but what is unusual is that these birds have become as tame as the local Mallards. I saw people feeding them by hand with the Mallards today. In all the years I've observed ducks in the park I've never seen any Canada Geese get this tame. To my eye there is no evidence that they are not wild birds. Any ideas anyone?
