Searching for the 2 Greater White-Fronted Geese reported yesterday by Angus Wilson, my sister Barbara and I went to the Further Lane field in East Hampton around 11:00 AM Sunday. First one, then a second goose revealed its orange legs. Wanting better views, we waited and searched for the CACKLING GEESE. As the flock began to move around after about an hour, we found 4 GWFG together and shortly afterward a 5th GWFG a, a bit further away. The 6 SNOW GEESE were also still present.
We did not find the CACKLING GEESE, but around 20 minutes after we left, Angus and Doug Futuyma, who had joined us by then along Further Lane, did see them.
