Thanks for the report from further west, Doug! I always appreciate the opportunity to view a migration event through a wider lens of observations. Surely, your Cackling Goose was the same individual some of us were lucky enough to spot at Jones Beach. It, too, was seen in a flock with 13 Canada

Yesterday morning, Shai Mitra, Shane Blodgett, and I watched birds from the platform on Battery Harris at Fort Tilden for several hours. Since it is still early in the season for huge numbers of things like blackbirds, robins etc., we traded the large numbers that are characteristic of this site
