[nysbirds-l] Ross' Goose in Queens
Eric Miller forwarded me a picture taken by Lisa Scheppke yesterday of a Ross' Goose that they saw on a pond inside Fort Totten in northeastern Queens. It looks very similar to the one from Baisley Pond. Characteristics include some gray on the head, a slight curvature at the base of the bill, and a slight grin patch. And actually, these traits had been suggested as signs of hybridization (or some Snow Goose genes in there). That could mean it's the same bird. Or it could mean that as Ross' Geese continue to become more frequent around here, we'll find certain traits to be more regular in them than traditionally attributed. Also seen by them is what appears to be a Cackling Goose outside the fort, inside Little Neck Bay. Getting into Fort Totten, at least by car, could be hit or miss, depending on the person at the booth. There is parking outside.

[nysbirds-l] Ross' Goose persisting at the driving range as of Monday 9AM Flatbush Ave, BKLYN
At eight this morning (Monday 11/28) I arrived at the Marine Park Golf Course driving range, having failed to look there for the Ross' Goose on Saturday when I spent all my time on the airfield. I found nothing but several thousand golf balls and a couple of guys wandering around raking them up. Despondent, and certain that I was doomed never to see this particular goose, I made a complete but fruitless circuit through Floyd Bennett field. I am thankful that at nine am I went back across the road for just one last look at the driving range, because the Ross' goose was by then there, strolling gently out of the way of the golf-ball recovery tractors and munching grass. There was not a Canada goose to be seen, just the Ross', very much alone. -- Richard Fleming http://antarcticiana.blogspot.com http://www.walkingtoguantanamo.com -- 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/ --

[nysbirds-l] Ross Goose - Yes
The ROSS' GOOSE was present at the edge of the driving range's lawn at Brooklyn Golf Center, just across the street from Floyd Bennett Field this afternoon through 5pm in the fading light. It was hanging out with 17 Canadas. I pulled into the golf center's parking lot, parked and walked down to the last bench on the range to see the birds; they were not visible from the street. Honestly, I thought the bird would be a little smaller, but this being my first Ross', I'm nowhere near an expert on the ID. Bill and head shape distinctive, and sticks out like a sore thumb with the big, brown and black canadas.

[nysbirds-l] Ross' Goose and Harlequin Duck, plus Lenoir Preserve Hummingbirds
The Ross' Goose was still on the lawn at the Brooklyn Golf Center across from the Aviator Sports entrance to Floyd Bennett Field late this afternoon. An immature male Harlequin Duck was off the fisherman's parking lot at Fort Tilden. There were about 500 Bonaparte's Gulls feeding offshore. The Rufous Hummingbird continues at Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers. The second hummingbird there is a Ruby-throated.

Could not find the Ross Goose at Floyd Bennett Field today from 2-3pm. Ran into another birder who said he hadn't seen it either.
