[nysbirds-l] Geese in the Wellwood Ave. Vicinity (Suffolk)
With the fading light, I was able to pick out a Greater White-fronted Goose in the middle of the field at St. Charles Cemetary. It was among approx. 100 Canada Geese and looks to be the same bird that's been roaming about the area. This morning, Belmont Lake was packed with geese, all toward the north end with numbers nearing 1000. None of the less common geese appeared in that flock. I did however pick out a single CACKLING GOOSE on the edge of the pond at Colonial Springs Golf Course in Wyandanch. This bird, and many hundred Canada Geese, were all visible from the edge of the restaurant building, just off the parking lot. As noted in a previous post, the course administrators asked that folks do not trespass on the actual playing course.
