There were probably close to one thousand geese on Miller's Pond this afternoon. I managed to pick out a lone CACKLING GOOSE standing on a floating chunk of ice. Dave Lamagna and I watched the goose for about 30 minutes. It was never joined by a 2nd Cackling and I'm wondering if this might be a third bird (in addition to Brent's report yesterday).Given the numbers of Canada Geese this is a very likely possibility.
I'm also happy to report that I observed and recorded 6 Canada Geese, all with neck collars, from the program in west Greenland. Indian Hills Country Club, in Northport, had some decent goose activity. Solid numbers of Canada's and a single Snow Goose, all visible along Breeze Hill Rd. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39025168@N07/ Best, Derek Rogers Sayville -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
