Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Goose at Heckscher State Park (Suffolk Co.)
Big thanks to Ken and Sue Fuestel for relocating the Ross's Goose. I arrived at Hecksher around 3:30 PM where I ran into Sue Fuestel. She immediately steered me in the right direction. The Ross's Goose was feeding with a relatively small herd of Canada Geese north of Field #4 along a roadway called Forty Foot Road, just off of the main park road. The geese were quite active in their foraging, roving back and forth around the roadway. Several birders were already on site viewing the bird. The Ross's seemed constantly on guard as it took a few "nips" from the Canada's in which it fed with. There was quite a bit of vehicle commotion along this roadway but it didn't really seem to phase the geese. A relief to finally see this bird on the ground. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39025168@N07/ Best, Derek Rogers Sayville Begin forwarded message: > From: Ken Feustel > Subject: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Goose at Heckscher State Park (Suffolk Co.) > Date: February 2, 2013 2:08:03 PM EST > To: > Reply-To: Ken Feustel > > > Ross's Goose being seen at HSP now, opposite entrance road to Field 6.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Goose at Heckscher State Park (Suffolk Co.)
Excellent, Ken!! This is the very direction that the sub-flock containing the Ross's seemed to head, leaving the river than hooking west. I did canvas Hecksher thoroughly, after the fact, but came up empty. Thrilled to hear you relocated the bird!
