Re: [cayugabirds-l] snow geese flying

2023-02-27 Thread Todd Beeton 
I saw hundreds (if not more?) flying North yesterday afternoon, visible
driving east toward Geneva on 5 and 20. It was an amazing sight. It was
late in the afternoon, just before sundown.

This afternoon I was at Salt Point and noticed a Goose with a pink-orange bill 
with white around it. The bird was bathing vigorously and showed dark barring 
on the belly -- Greater White-fronted Goose!
(confirmed by Jay McGowan from photos I showed him later).

I was interrupted while viewing the goose and did not refind it. It had been 
among the Canada Geese, not far off shore from the little Free Library, where 
there were also about 20 American Wigeon. There were hundreds of Canada Geese 
on the north side of Salt Point this afternoon, and I also found one Cackling 
Goose there.

Low quality digiscope photos are included with my eBird checklist:
https://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S129815966.

I hope others can refind the Greater White-fronted Goose tomorrow.
