Jesse and all, Thanks - and good sleuthing - your mention (presumably) of this wouId be the "stadium" area and baseball fieId that is south of West 242 Street, just east of Broadway (?) - which is a short way south of the Parade Grounds area in Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx County - this is not far from the southwest corner of that entire park - if this is the new area where the rare goose & other geese were found moving to by you, later this morning. It is not far north of Van Cortlandt Park South (a street name) & just east of Broadway (in the west Bronx).
It seems very possible the goose flocks may relocate to the Parade Grounds, too - as there may be more grass to feed on there than most anywhere else within the park (and that is not patrolled by golf course personnel) - so a check there, and at the nearby Van Cortlandt lake may prove fruitful for any goose-gazing. Updates are appreciated on a day-by-day basis as this is a species still on many birders wish-lists both subscribed-to, &/or watching this and other list-servs and reports! Tom Fiore Manhattan - - Date: 12/28/16 11:00 am From: Jesse Sargent Subject: [nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose and Snow Goose - Van Cortlandt The Pink-footed Goose continues with one Snow Goose at Van Cortlandt Park. Upon first arriving at the Parade ground a small dog flushed up the flock making them vacate the field. After tracking the group I found that all of the geese have found refuge in the baseball field next to the Stadium. The flock seems content since the field is fenced off from joggers and unleashed dogs.
