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/ --
