The Tundra Bean Goose was searched for by many hopefuls today. So far it has not been seen. But (to the disappointment to some - imagine that) a Pink -footed Goose was found instead. There is no doubt that these are two separate birds, not a case of mistaken identification. Locations: north end of Saratoga Lake and Wright’s Loop, Near Saratoga Battlefield National Historic Site.
