Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose

[Geo Kloppel]

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 was 
attracting, it walked down the sloping beach and swam off, with the wing still 
cocked-up.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose

[Dave Nutter]

First some updates & observations, then some thoughts. 

Day before yesterday (31 March) the Snow Goose was grazing on the lawn between 
the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and Cayuga Inlet still opposite Union Fields in the 
morning. Through binoculars I watched from near the pavilion north of the 
Children’s Garden as a guy with a dog on a long and nearly invisible leash 
walked past. The dog was curious about the goose and started to approach it. 
The goose walked over to the top of the steep embankment above the water. 
Whether oblivious or deliberately, the owner continued walking such that the 
leash prevented the dog from reaching the goose, who stayed put as the dog was 
led away. The goose clearly prefers not leaving the lawn although it is 
prepared to do so if forced. 

Later that morning I was at Allan Treman and a different dog owner asked me 
about the white bird on the lawn along the Inlet. I described the black 
wingtips of the Snow Goose, and although he is pretty observant he said he 
didn’t notice that, even though during the course of our conversation I learned 
that, because the guy was curious, he had approached the goose but neglected to 
restrain the dog, who drove the goose first down the embankment, then into the 
water. If it had spread its wings, the guy surely would have seen the 
contrasting black. This says to me that this goose is either extremely 
reluctant or unable to fly. 

When I returned home along that stretch of the Cayuga Waterfront Trail, I saw 
that the Snow Goose had moved considerably south. My guess is that happened 
when it got chased into the water, and it swam away. Anyway the bird was 
opposite the south end of the Children’s Garden, and it was on the side of the 
Waterfront Trail closer to the road. In that place, the road shoulder is made 
extra wide where drivers have pulled over. There’s lots of gravel and a big 
puddle of water but only a narrow bit of grass there. From my distant view 
through optics I couldn’t tell whether the goose was grazing, or consuming 
gravel to grind the grass in its gizzard, or getting drink from the puddle. But 
I did hear a nervous driver blow their horn, successfully scaring the goose 
away from the road. The Snow Goose ran across the trail and onto the wider 
lawn, but did not go all the way to the top of the embankment. Most cars didn’t 
bother it, but the one that made a loud noise right next to it was surprisingly 
unpleasant. Yet the nasty car continued on without further threat, so the goose 
could continue grazing. What caught my eye in this interaction was that the 
goose spread its wings as it ran. They appeared whole, level, and symmetrical. 
They may have been used for balance, or they may have been spread reflexively, 
or they may have been spread in preparation to fly had that been necessary, but 
the wings were not obviously flapped or used for power. 

By the way, on the subject of water, on a different day Rick & Carol observed 
the Snow Goose walk down to the Inlet, take a drink, and walk back up without 
apparent difficulty. So it’s not that it can’t climb the embankment, it prefers 
not to unless necessary.

Yesterday (Saturday 1 April), was warm and sunny with a south breeze. The 
Cayuga Waterfront Trail was very popular among people walking, running, biking, 
and roller-blading. I addition it was the day of the first rowing meet of the 
season, so it was kind of a carnival. People were set up in lawn chairs 
scattered along the top of the embankment, and periodically a trio of racing 
shells would come by, to the accompaniment of lots of yelling by the nearby 
people, plus a group of bike riders keeping pace on the path, each with one 
hand on the handlebars and the other holding a cell-phone to video their 
school’s team, while not actually watching where they were going. Early on I 
had noticed the local pair of Canada Geese fly out and alight in the unused 
part of the cove north of the boathouses; they were having none of that mayhem. 
But the Snow Goose decided to put up with all the traffic, noting that nobody 
paid it any attention, and it kept grazing between the Waterfront Trail and the 
Inlet. 

By late afternoon, the sky had clouded up, rain was threatening, and  most 
people had left. The Snow Goose was so far south that it was alongside where 
Taughannock Boulevard is still sloped coming down from the bridge. I was biking 
toward it slowly from the north behind 2 pedestrians, while another pair of 
pedestrians approached it from the south. The bird was on the narrow bit of 
grass between the trail and the sidewalk. It opted to side over toward the 
water’s edge rather than be pinned behind such a crowd. I don’t know whether 
the presence of me, the guy who stares, was a factor in that decision. 

Today is sunny but cold with a strong north wind. There are few people on the 
trail considering it’s a sunny Sunday. At mid-day the Snow Goose was farther 
north, grazing. I didn’t go close enough to 

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose

[Dave Nutter]

As I was walking home at 7:52pm (well after sunset) from Allan Treman on the 
Cayuga Waterfront Trail next to Taughannock Boulevard past Cass Park I saw the 
Snow Goose, still on the lawn between the trail and Cayuga Inlet. It has worked 
its way farther north, opposite Union Fields, and at mid-day I had seen it next 
to a local pair of Canada Geese in that area, but the Canadas were gone by 
dusk. This evening I stopped a hundred yards away to look at the Snow Goose. 
The bird is alert and certainly knows the difference between a runner or walker 
who goes past without stopping and doesn’t care at all about a goose therefore 
is safe to ignore, and a person staring at it even from a distance. The goose 
immediately walked over to the edge of the lawn at the top of the embankment. 
So, it knows that people can be threatening and that the water is a safer 
place, which is appropriate. But I crossed the street and walked along the 
opposite shoulder to give it extra room, then returned later to the trail and 
glanced back. The goose stayed up on the lawn. I think going down & up the 
embankment must be extra effort for it, worth staying on land overnight. 

By the way, I think it’s normal for a grazing goose to rest occasionally during 
the day by sitting down to digest awhile.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose

[Dave Nutter]

As of 9:07am the Snow Goose is still/again grazing on the lawn between the 
Cayuga Waterfront Trail and Cayuga Inlet next to the Children’s Garden and 
Taughannock Boulevard (NYS-89). I did not get close, but through binoculars it 
looked normal. Runners and walkers pass it without either being bothered. 

I should add that my explanation of summer Snow Geese around being disabled 
veterans is an educated guess. If this bird has difficulty flying, it may also 
be limited where it can climb from the water to & from the lawn, and it may be 
reluctant to go up & down the embankment unnecessarily.

time just sitting.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose

[marsha kardon]

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 alone.

[Johnson, Alyssa]

If anyone has decent photos of any of these birds and a certificate of the band 
information they’ve received back, I’d love to write up a post and share on 
Montezuma Audubon Center’s FB. Please send to me! Photo credit will be included.

Thanks!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose island, FOY Sandhill Cranes

Ken and I were a bit farther north, doing the waterfowl count at Knox/Marsellus

beginning to fill in. There was a report from one of the counters of some 
15,000 NOPI at West Loop Road!

Took the afternoon off hoping to find the snow geese at Mucklands, but en route 
I found a/the massive snow goose island between Dean's Cove and Aurora, so I 
parked at Dean's Cove hoping to see and video a full eruption which never came 
to pass, just a couple of "minor tremors". Starting around 4pm skeins started 
departing towards the NW or WNW, which is to say, not towards the Mucklands. At 
this point, the island was stretched pretty long and thin, but still contained 
an impressive number of birds, echoing a distant cacophony.

Also had six Sandhill Cranes fly over, and a few Common Loons fishing and 
wailing in the beautiful gentle sun.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow goose

[bakkerbird]

 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 it while we 
were there. We saw it again on 7/30 and so far every week in August. A few 
weeks ago someone witnessed a Trumpeter Swan beating the daylights out of a 
snow goose and was able to post pictures. In one, it looked like a goner! The 
next time we surveyed, it was there. Lately it has been near the road. It seems 
to have recovered, probably hanging out near the road to avoid the swans! It is 
pretty safe to say that this is not an early migrant.

 At VanDyne Spoor Rd late yesterday afternoon near end of road. Flew OK about

Has it been there since last spring or is it early coming south?

I don’t know how long it has been there, but it was there on 21 July, molting 
all its primaries.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose history

[Kevin J. McGowan]

Very cool.  Google Maps' Distance Measurement Tool says 3386.87 km, or 2,104.5 
miles.  (Or 30,866 football fields; or 16,836 furlongs. Look under the Map Labs 
link in the left column).

Last Thursday on my return from enjoying views of a couple of Snowy Owls in 
Seneca County, I drove NYS-89 along Cayuga Lake, and opposite Ernsberger Road 
(Seneca County Road 128) a saw a raft of SNOW GEESE, nearly all of the white 
flavor and a couple thousand strong, not far offshore. I scanned them awhile, 
unsuccessfully, for Ross' Goose, but I did note a bird with a yellow neck 
collar TC57, which I reported to the USGS bird banding lab (easy: just google 
report bird band. I received a reply today. This female Greater Snow Goose 
was an adult (hatched in 2010 or earlier) when she was banded on 11 August 2011 
on the south plain of Bylot Island in Nunavut, Canada. This is off the 
northeast coast of Baffin Island, about 2000 miles almost due north of us, and 
about 450 miles north of the Arctic Circle. I estimated distances using a 
National Geographic atlas Chamberlin Trimetric Projection map and a ruler. If 
anyone cares to be more accurate, the banding location was 73.1, -79.8. 
Bylot Island is the same area where the same researcher, Gilles Gauthier, has 
banded some other Snow Geese whose collars I have reported in spring further 
north on Cayuga Lake. Some of his collared birds I have reported were also 
banded at a migration stopover along the St Lawrence River.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snow Goose and Sora

[John Confer]

The location Jeff mentions for the Sora is the same as where I heard one 
about 2 weeks ago. Nice to know it may be staying around. The darn bird 
did not respond to playbacks on my Big Day. It certainly is not a bird 
that I am very fond of.

Cheers,

John

Re:[cayugabirds-l] snow goose neck collar

[nutter.dave]

On 9 March in the flock of Snow Geese estimated by Chris Wood et al at 123K at the north end of Cayuga Lake, viewed from Lower Lake Rd, Bridgeport, Town of Seneca FallsI noted several yellow neck collars with 4-digit letter/number combinations. I reported the info and learned that all were female Greater Snow Geese banded as adults, several from Bylot Island in August 2008  2010, and one from the south shore of the St. Lawrence River about 50 miles downstream from Quebec City in May 2007. It's fascinating to learn about where and when these birds have met people before. I wonder if there have been other reports of the same individuals, and if we could access that information. I saw that Chris Wood noted some different collar numbers in his eBird report that day, and I wonder where those individuals were from.--Dave Nutter Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:33:43 -0700 (PDT) From: David Prill ll...@yahoo.com To: "geneseebird...@geneseo.edu" geneseebird...@geneseo.edu Subject: [GeneseeBirds-L] snow goose neck collar Message-ID: 1364441623.94490.yahoomail...@web140304.mail.bf1.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"  On Tuesday, 3/26/13, there was a flock of about six hundred snow geese at the D.E.C. pond on Route 20 in the town of Avon, NY. Four of them had neck collars which I reported to the USGS Banding. I received a report on one bird today. It is a greater snow goose hatched in 2011 or earlier and banded on 8/7/12 on the south plain of Bylot Island. The coordinates are Latitude: 73.13 and Longitude:-79.83. Bylot Island is off the north end of Baffin Island. There was just one snow goose at the pond? on Wednesday,at 3:30 p.m. on 3/27/13. Regards, David Prill
