In addition to the continuing Cackling Goose that I reported earlier today, other notable sightings enjoyed by my group included a late lingering Blue-headed Vireo, a gathering flock of 25+ Rusty Blackbirds, This compared to the two I had last week, and a pair of very obliging American Pipits.

The Cackling Goose that Debbie Allen found over a week ago continues on the southwest corner of the Parade Grounds, or the area closest to the tennis courts. The presumed Lesser Canada Goose was no where to be found. Keep'em up, Nadir Souirgi -- NYSbirds-L List Info:
