[nysbirds-l] Potential Barnacle Goose - Eastport Lake, Suffolk
At 3:30 PM, I received a pix message from friend Peter Priolo. It was a decent digiscope photograph of what appeared to be a BARNACLE GOOSE. He viewed the goose on Eastport Lake in Eastport, NY. It was, as always, associating with CAGO's, about 150 of them. Coordinates below. I arrived on the scene at 4:10 PM. The flock was toward the far north end of the lake and I decided to post up along Montauk Highway to take advantage of the full lake view. As soon as I opened my tripod the flock lifted and flew toward the far NW. It was disheartening. I searched the northern sod and farm fields until dark and turned up nothing. Peter was able to take a few non-digiscope photos of which I have not yet seen. As stated, the bird was in water and unfortunately was not revealing its legs and feet. He is going to send me a link to share with List, so stay tuned and be on the lookout for this bird.
