[nysbirds-l] BARNACLE GOOSE (YES) @ Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, NY on December 17, 2012

2012-12-17 Thread David Flynt 
Thank you to all of the people on the list who continue to report on the
BARNACLE GOOSE at Van Cortlandt Park.  I really appreciate the details of
the whereabouts and when to try to view the bird.  Today I drove up from
Arlington, VA to see it, and I had success.  I arrived and parked at 251st
St & Broadway at 10:00AM, and after about ten minutes of scanning I found
the BARNACLE GOOSE.

The CACKLING GOOSE was a little more difficult, but after another 20
minutes, I found the goose that looks identical to the one photographed by
Andrew Baksh (
http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg09055.html).  In
particular, this bird had a thin white half-ring separating the black neck
and the light brown upper breast, like the "Aleutian" Cackling goose, but
not as prominent.  In addition to being shorter and smaller overall than
Canada Geese, its head rounded and short stubby bill, another feature that
stood out on this bird was the color and size of the white face patch
looked slightly brighter and covered a greater percentage of its face
compared to the Canada Geese in the field.

It was a long day, but a great one.  Thanks again NY birders.

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose (YES) @ Van Cortlandt Park Bronx...

2012-12-08 Thread Andrew Baksh 
The Barnacle Goose continues on the Parade Grounds at Van Cortlandt
Park.   On the north end of the field with a huge flock of Canada's.
No Cackling seen in this flock despite several sweeps.

Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose at Van Cortlandt park

2012-12-03 Thread Ardith Bondi 





As of this morning (12/3), the Barnacle Goose was still there, and at
least 4 Canadas had yellow neck bands (didn't get the numbers). The
Horned Larks stopped by, as well.

Hi Ethan and all,
The Canada Goose with yellow neck collar is the same goose that was in
Inwood Hill Park when some of us saw the Barnacle Goose there (
November 11
to 15). I saw and photographed both birds on the twelfth and sent in a
report.

Here's part of the text in the automated confirmation email:

Marker_info: Neck collar: RY87 Black on Yellow
Species: Canada Goose
How obtained: Sight record: identified by color band, marked plumage or
marker other than standard, numbered metal band.
Status of Bird/Band: Alive - Unknown/Left On Bird
Remarks: Canada Goose with plastic yellow neck collar seen in a flock of
about 60 Canada Goose in which also one Barnacle Goose was present.
Seen in
Inwood Hill Park on upper Manhattan.
Date of recovery: Nov 12, 2012

I have not heard back from them about where the CANG was banded.

Barnacle Goose was still at the VCP Parade Grounds at 4:30pm yesterday,
staying somewhat removed from (to the north of) the main group of about
1,000 Canada Geese. Also of note was one Canada Goose with a yellow neck
band, code RY87. Didn't get a good enough look at it to see if it had any
leg or other metal bands. I entered a report of it on the USGS website (
reportband.gov) and perhaps a match will reveal something as to the
origins
of this flock (and maybe even the Barnacle Goose). Will post update if
the
data matches.
