Re:[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose - Riverhead (Suffolk)

[Derek Rogers]

The Pink-footed Goose remained in the company of roughly 500 Canada Geese when 
I left the site around 3:45. It was some of the better views I've gotten of 
this species with good light and relative close range. The goose called several 
times during the hour in which I viewed it and occasionally snapped back at the 
bullying Canada Geese. 

Seems early for Pink-foot but I'm reminded that geese have been on the move for 
a while now. Back on 10/19/14 I noted 2 collared Canada Geese from the West 
Greenland program, indicating that geese from the far north have decided to 
move early this year. Also, reports from the UK indicate record breaking 
numbers during this fall's Pink-foot migration. Perhaps an early sign of more 
to come as their population continues to increase. Here is a link to a BBC News 
report from Montrose Basin that gives an idea on some of the numbers they are 
seeing: http://m.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-29691238

Some images of today's goose can be viewed on my Flickr page:

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose Riverhead, Suffolk, LI

[Shaibal Mitra]

A Pink-footed Goose was sleeping on the ice at Merritt's Pond in Riverhead, 
Long Island this morning, very likely the same bird that was present nearby in 
January. The only way to view this pond is from the road in a quiet residential 
neighborhood, so extra courtesy is in order.
