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!

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.

Good Birding,
Jesse Sargent
