Friday, Feb. 9, 2018, Alice Deutsch and Anne Lazarus saw the Ross`s Goose and
the Greater White-fronted Goose at Belmont Lake ( off Exit 38
on the Southern State Parkway, L.I. ) We saw geese at about 8:30 am. We saw
the Lapland Longspur at the southeast corner of the East wing of
Parking Lot 2
Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at Belmont Lake 45 minutes after Doug’s
post. There was a continuous outward movement of small flocks of Canada Geese.
Apparently the Cackling and Ross’s went with them before we came.
We arrived at Point Lookout at low tide to find the areas between the jet
Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at Belmont Lake at 1:25, the Canada Geese
flew out of the pond at 1:35 and returned at 1:45 with a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED
GOOSE. By this time the rain had stopped and the sun was peeking through.
Viewing was perfect.

We stopped by Belmont Lake State Park this morning on our way up to the north
