[nysbirds-l] Greater White-Fronted Goose, Yaphank, Long Island
Today I found what I believe to be the Greater White-Fronted previously reported by Derek Rogers. It had been on and off at Hard's Lake of Southaven County Park. Today I observed the bird from another Suffolk County Park, Prosser Pines, which is near the headwaters of Hard's Lake/Carman's River on Yaphank Middle Island Road. This park is adjacent to a large inaccessible private sod field. Hiking through the park however is encouraged and one can get a good view of foraging geese from the NE boundary of the preserve. The pine forest is small and it is an easy hike. It was foraging among ~300 Canada Geese. Beautiful bird out of the water!
