Re:[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose in Wyandanch (Suffolk)

2013-01-04 Thread John Gluth 
In hindsight I probably shouldn't have made my post of 12/23 regarding finding 
the Barnacle and other geese on the golf course. It probably wasn't necessary 
considering that the birds are/were at least sporadically findable at other 
publicly accessible sites. While I didn't realize the course was 
members only until I was leaving the parking lot and looked closely at the sign 
at the entrance, I should have mentioned that fact in my post. 
I suppose because I hadn't encountered anyone during my visit (incredible good 
luck apparently) I overlooked the possibility that subsequent 
visitors might not have the same experience. Live and learn.

2013-01-04 Thread Michael Scheibel 
By the time I arrived (2:30) they must have had enough, the first person I
spoke with drove up to where I had parked and inquired if I was looking for
the goose, then informed me that it was private property, all before I had
a chance to get out of the car. He mentioned people walking over the
greens, which seemed to be the primary complaint.

Thank you Derek for the update.  It seems odd that security folks would be
friendly with you but then give Michael a hard time with a message to tell
other birders they are not welcome.  You are either quite the charmer, we
could either have different personnel with different personalities or it
COULD BE that some party (possibly birders) offended the authorities by
encroaching on private property; thus, ruining it for others??

Such a shame after all the hard work in trying to track the schedule of the
BRNG.  Perhaps it will, as you speculated, relocate to more accessible area
for all to see.

2013-01-04 Thread Derek Rogers 
Mike,

Thanks for this post. I find this very interesting as Arie and I were greeted 
with a wave and a smile by 2 officers. We walked out, got the geese and left. 
We respectfully stayed on the patio area as initially advised.

My thoughts:

The pond at the course is almost 3/4 frozen and soon these geese will be 
looking for more open water for their night time roost. Their was a big old Red 
Fox causing a commotion and the geese seemed quite unsettled. More initiative 
for them to move on.

Birders should look to Belmont Lake as temperatures stay cold. This is where I 
had the Barnacle a few weeks back.

2013-01-04 Thread Derek Rogers 
Mike,

Thanks for this post. I find this very interesting as Arie and I were greeted 
with a wave and a smile by 2 officers. We walked out, got the geese and left. 
We respectfully stayed on the patio area as initially advised.

My thoughts:

The pond at the course is almost 3/4 frozen and soon these geese will be 
looking for more open water for their night time roost. Their was a big old Red 
Fox causing a commotion and the geese seemed quite unsettled. More initiative 
for them to move on.

Birders should look to Belmont Lake as temperatures stay cold. This is where I 
had the Barnacle a few weeks back.

2013-01-04 Thread Andrew Baksh 
Thank you Derek for the update.  It seems odd that security folks would be
friendly with you but then give Michael a hard time with a message to tell
other birders they are not welcome.  You are either quite the charmer, we
could either have different personnel with different personalities or it
COULD BE that some party (possibly birders) offended the authorities by
encroaching on private property; thus, ruining it for others??

Such a shame after all the hard work in trying to track the schedule of the
BRNG.  Perhaps it will, as you speculated, relocate to more accessible area
for all to see.


Good and RESPONSIBLE Birding!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose in Wyandanch (Suffolk)

2013-01-04 Thread Michael Scheibel 
By the time I arrived (2:30) they must have had enough, the first person I
spoke with drove up to where I had parked and inquired if I was looking for
the goose, then informed me that it was private property, all before I had
a chance to get out of the car. He mentioned people walking over the
greens, which seemed to be the primary complaint.

 Thank you Derek for the update.  It seems odd that security folks would be
 friendly with you but then give Michael a hard time with a message to tell
 other birders they are not welcome.  You are either quite the charmer, we
 could either have different personnel with different personalities or it
 COULD BE that some party (possibly birders) offended the authorities by
 encroaching on private property; thus, ruining it for others??

 Such a shame after all the hard work in trying to track the schedule of
 the BRNG.  Perhaps it will, as you speculated, relocate to more accessible
 area for all to see.


 Good and RESPONSIBLE Birding!

 Mike,

 Thanks for this post. I find this very interesting as Arie and I were
 greeted with a wave and a smile by 2 officers. We walked out, got the geese
 and left. We respectfully stayed on the patio area as initially advised.

 My thoughts:

 The pond at the course is almost 3/4 frozen and soon these geese will be
 looking for more open water for their night time roost. Their was a big old
 Red Fox causing a commotion and the geese seemed quite unsettled. More
 initiative for them to move on.

 Birders should look to Belmont Lake as temperatures stay cold. This is
 where I had the Barnacle a few weeks back.

 Best,

 No geese visible from parking lot @ Colonial Springs GC, I was asked to
 leave by security, and requested to pass on the message to all birders.

 A morning run to Colonial Springs G.F. proved successful in locating the
 Barnacle Goose. Arie Gilbert and I both observed the goose, plus the same
 Greater White-fronted Goose that's been around. All geese visible from

Re:[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose in Wyandanch (Suffolk)

2013-01-04 Thread John Gluth 
In hindsight I probably shouldn't have made my post of 12/23 regarding finding 
the Barnacle and other geese on the golf course. It probably wasn't necessary 
considering that the birds are/were at least sporadically findable at other 
publicly accessible sites. While I didn't realize the course was 
members only until I was leaving the parking lot and looked closely at the sign 
at the entrance, I should have mentioned that fact in my post. 
I suppose because I hadn't encountered anyone during my visit (incredible good 
luck apparently) I overlooked the possibility that subsequent 
visitors might not have the same experience. Live and learn.
