Exciting news! For what it's worth, the 3 Pink-feet in Cumberland, Maine were still present this morning, so this clearly a different (fourth) bird.
Good photos of the bill might help us to determine if this is a returning bird or not. Also, I encourage folks to post updates on the bird, positive or negative, if able to visit the area in the next few days. > Ken Feustel just called with news of a Pink-footed Goose at Sunken Meadow SP, > on the north shore of western Suffolk County, Long Island. The bird is with > Canada Geese on a ballfield to the east of the main entrance. -- Angus Wilson New York City & The Springs, NY, USA http://birdingtotheend.blogspot.com/ -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
