[nysbirds-l] Fwd: Barnacle Goose, Wellwood Avenue, Wyandanch (Suffolk)
Attached are a couple of digi-photos of the Barnacle Goose I found on Wellwood Avenue. I initially noticed the goose when it was slightly obscured by the larger Canada's. Lighting was tough but Chase and I were able to get a good angle on sun for some solid viewing. The bird had no leg bands and it seemed to have all its toes. We estimated somewhere in the realm of 300-400 Canada Geese. Vastly different than this morning when we had zero in this field. As I mentioned, this field is noted as St. Charles Cemetery, which runs along the west side of Wellwood Avenue in Wyandanch. I believe a Barnacle was seen in this area a couple of years ago. The birds were east and north of the mulch piles. A good day to be out. Our CBC went well with a very cooperative AMERICAN WOODCOCK as just one of the highlights at Uplands Farm. I noticed it "tip toeing" beneath some dense shrubs. It posed for some great photos and even a video. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39025168@N07/ Best, Derek Rogers Sayville Begin forwarded message: > From: Derek Rogers > Date: December 15, 2012, 4:08:26 PM EST > To: NY Bird List List > Subject: Barnacle Goose, Wellwood Avenue, Wyandanch (Suffolk) > > I figured I'd get the word out quickly with the fading light.
