Re: [nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose in Nassau County

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
County CBC on Marcus Ave. in Lake Success. It was on the ball field on the
north side of the street between Lakeville Rd. and New Hyde Park Rd. with a
flock of Canada Geese. This is in Nassau County.*

According to Google Street View, Merillon Field is the name of the trio of 
softball/baseball diamonds which border the south side of the pond on which the 
Pink-footed Goose has been seen. If an eBird Hot Spot is created it should 
probably bear that name.

In fairness, I don’t think that body of water has a name. 
I seem to recall that it’s more like a sump (rather unnaturally rectangular) 
with the baseball field to the south of it.
Good luck if you go.

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose in Nassau County

2018-12-17 Thread Gus Keri 
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 NSP. In the middle of the 
triangle that is made by NST, Marcus Ave and New Hyde Park Rd. (exit 25 on NSP 
toward Marcus Ave.)
I couldn't find the name of this pond anywhere. 
Any time you click on one of the four water bodies in Lake Success Village, you 
see the words "Lake Success" pop up.

The confusion continues with reporting this bird to eBird. You see all kind of 
names for this location.
I hope someone who lives in the area could clarify to us the proper name.
And I think eBird should assign a hot spot name for this location.

I spent two hours today until the goose decided to wake up and swim around. 
Enjoy this video of the Pink-footed Goose:
