We've had a Snow Goose here at the Stony Brook Mill Pond since last fall. It appears very tame and tends to hang around with the Canada Geese. If you want a good photo of a Snow Goose, that's the place to go!
Emma Olsen and I have also had a Hermit Thrush visiting our suet feeder for the past few weeks which I understand is quite unusual. He recently stopped appearing due to the major influx of Common Grackles.
