The bean goose was refound this afternoon in the huge Snow Goose flock in the Savannah Mucklands this afternoon, although it was in the far back and out of sight for quite some time. It was finally refound but then soon after took off, seemingly to the north, at 5:50pm. Hard to say what the prospects are for tomorrow, but I didn't get the sense it was heading back to Seneca Lake. Checking the Mucklands would certainly be a good strategy, but hard to say if the bean will return.
