The original report by Steve Schellenger was referring to Lake Success the village in the town of North Hempstead, Nassau County, not a lake. It's a well-known area to those of us who grew up in Queens and Long Island. *A Pink-footed Goose was found late Sunday 12/16/18 at 4pm on the Queens

Hi everyone, Apparently, there is a confusion about the name of the pond where the goose is at. The first report said it's Lake Success. But if you put Lake Success in Google map, you get a lake that is north of the Northern State Parkway (NSP). The goose is at the pond that is south of the
