The Pink-foot was still being seen on the eastern shoreline of the lake at Hendrickson Park this evening. We departed at about 5:35 as the sun was getting low, and the goose was happily feeding alongside its Canadian brethren. It seemed more alert and active than many reports from yesterday

Bird is ranging widely. It left the Wolfes pond side of the path and flew across to the field on the other side where Mike Shanley originally found it. Bird is currently feeding on the far edge of the field in some trees that border Raritan Bay. The point is it's roaming over a large area so
