Cayugabirders, Gary Kohlenberg reported a Greater White-fronted Goose at Myers Point in Lansing this morning. I saw the bird shortly after with other birders and we had nice looks in with a flock of Canadas that included a yellow-collared goose, potentially from Greenland. The vividly orange-billed Greater White-fronted Goose also showed several characteristics of Greenland origin (ssp. flavirostris), though subspecific ID is rather confused. Two photos of the goose are online here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bonxie88/ Cheers, Tom
