Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Thursday, January 7 - A Greater White-fronted Goose has returned to the Central Park Reservoir, and of course one question locally is whether this is *definitively* the same individual as has been rather regular for most of more than two weeks at Randall’s Island, at which site a goose of that species (& also the Greenland-breeding form), has occasionally been in ‘hiding’ or simply not present at that latter site. Distance from one to the other (to the C.P. reservoir) is extremely minimal as the goose flies (or even as the birder runs or walks), and various birds from one place are likely to show in either location, at times.
Good goose-ing, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
