A single Snow Goose by the Wells College boathouse in Aurora on Sunday is interesting to me because on Saturday I saw from that location a flock of about a thousand of them out in the middle of the lake. Perhaps they were all off feeding when you arrived, and this was just the first to return, or as you suggest, a weak flyer due to a hunting injury, and stayed local.

Yet, yesterday the Bird Club field trip group going around the lake saw ONE SNOW GOOSE fly from the shore area into the lake by the boathouse in Aurora!Nearby hunters may have had some role in this, possibly.One of them waved at us (uphill with scopes set up), as they roared by in their motorboat shortly after we saw the goose.Donna Scott----- Original Message -----Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 10:47 AMSubject: [cayugabirds-l] Lone snow goose, CandorOn my way in this morning, there was a lone snow goose in a field on
Honeypot Road. Hard to say if he was injured or not.
It was notable imo because you never see just one goose this time of year.
