Re: [nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose Update - YES
Michael McBrien has just relocated the Pink-footed Goose at the Medford Sports Complex on Horseblock Road in Medford just west of route 112. We are viewing the bird now from the north side of Horseblock.

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose Update
As of 7:40 AM, the Pink-footed Goose was NOT present in the Holtsville soccer field. I decided I'd try for it in my way into work. When I arrived, Rob Bate and Rich Fried were already on the scene working there way through a small flock of Canada Geese. Hopefully more recon and routine site checks will turn up the goose. There were several groups landing in the field last night. Last night, the Pink-footed Goose seemed to be on high alert of my presence and would shy away with the sub group in which it was foraging. I kept a good distance and recommend the same for any potential future viewing opportunities.

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose Update
As of 7:40 AM, the Pink-footed Goose was NOT present in the Holtsville soccer field. I decided I'd try for it in my way into work. When I arrived, Rob Bate and Rich Fried were already on the scene working there way through a small flock of Canada Geese. Hopefully more recon and routine site checks will turn up the goose. There were several groups landing in the field last night. Last night, the Pink-footed Goose seemed to be on high alert of my presence and would shy away with the sub group in which it was foraging.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose update
Kevin McGann and I went to Middletown to see if the Pink-footed Goose was still around. We checked all of the spots Curt mentioned plus the ponds across from the Psychiatric Center on Route 17M with no success. Most of the geese we did find were on the pond visible from the foot trail off 6 & 1/2 Road.

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose update
dHi All, I wanted to update the status of the PfG for anyone considering searching for it this weekend. To my knowledge, the bird was last seen on Wednesday morning by Rob Bate and Rich Fried. It is very possible that this bird is still around and has just not been relocated yet. There are many local farms and fields in which the bird can hide. When searching for the Goose, Stage Rd. (GPS will have it in either Goshen, Middletown or Mechanicstown) off of Goshen Tpk. is another good place to look as it often holds hundreds to thousands of geese. Milo Rd. off of Airport rd.(Middletown/Mechanicstown) is another spot that had hundreds of Canada Geese on wednesday as well as a juvenile White-fronted Goose found by Jeff Goulding. The fields near the Orange County Fairgrounds as well as those on the property of Middletown High School are other areas that could hold geese. Lastly, the 6 1/2 Station Rd. Wildlife Sanctuary (located on 6 1/2 Station Rd. in Goshen, NY for those not familiar) is just over the hill from the original spot where the bird was found. Good luck if you go and please continue to post strike outs or success in finding this bird.
