Hello all, This morning (October 23), Isaiah S and I found a Cackling Goose at Manhattan's Inwood Hill Park. Originally seen on the ballfield just south of Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and later on the Spuyten Duyvil mudflat (extreme NE corner of the park), the bird was moving around a bit, and was last seen settling in at the Dyckman St. ballfields at the extreme SW corner of the park. It was associating with a flock of 25-50 Canadas. Photos can be seen here:

Good birding!
