My guess (nothing more) is that this may be the same Snow Goose that was walking about on the grass at Taughannock Point on the afternoon of March 16th. That goose was pretty clearly unwilling to fly - it held one wing slightly raised as if injured, and when it became wary of the attention it

I just got back from Cass Park and saw the lone snow goose about 10 minutes ago (and 1 3/4 hours ago in a similar location) in the grass on the inlet side not far past the Childrens' Garden. I agree that it looks healthy and is walking in the grass nibbling, but it seems odd to see it there

We saw a single snow goose at the Crane Unit (Van Dyne Spoor Road) for two weeks in April, then not again until July 2. From late April until last week we were not surveying around the unit, only from Van Dyne Spoor Road. It is a large area and it is certainly possible that we just didn't see
