I received an email this morning from a visiting birder from Massachusetts that he spotted a Barnacle Goose with hundreds of Canadas at Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx on Friday 23-November.
Here's the note: I am visiting from MA for a cross country race at Van Cortlandt park in Bronx. On 11/23 around 2pm I observed a barnacle goose with the hundreds of cago in the fields of the park. I'll be back there today for the actual race, but I expect that geese will be overwhelmed by humans. I'll post if I see it again today. Good birding.
