I saw the Snow Goose a little before 2pm and a little after 6pm in the same area. It has been grazing and looks alert and healthy. I agree it is unusual to have a wild goose in such a busily populated place, but the rowing crews, the drivers, and most of the pedestrians ignore it, so the bird is tolerant. Many Snow Geese who don’t finish migration are not sick but have been wounded by hunters. Sometimes they gather into small flocks who swim around Cayuga Lake. I’d rather let it be. But if it is sick, then handling it would not be a smart idea for the people. - - Dave Nutter On Mar 29, 2023, at 6:19 PM, marsha kardon <mfkar...@gmail.com<mailto:mfkar...@gmail.com>> wrote: I'm wondering whether the bird should be brought to a wildlife rehabilitator or ???? Perhaps it has avian influenza? Or an injury that isn't visible when it's standing or walking?

I agree that it looks healthy and is walking in the grass nibbling, but it seems odd to see it there alone. Marsha Kardon On Wed, Mar 29, 2023 at 11:16 AM Elaina M.

It seemed healthy although I didn't see it fly. I circled back around after a tour of three occupied Osprey nests and it was gone.
