Reply-To: ROBERT ADAMO rada...@msn.com Thank you Michael Mike ! I found your goose ~ 10 AM on the north half of Merrit's Pond in Riverhead, and it was still there when I left at 11:15. Also roosting on the ice (both halves are mostly iced-over) were 9 Snow Geese, 5 being blue morphs. I was then joined by fellow ELIAS members, John McNeil Rosemary Valenti, who were finishing up their Middle Island to Jamesport section of the Annual Waterfowl Census, which is sponsored by NYSOA, for the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service. Previously counted on one of his other waterfowl survey sections, were ~ 600 Canvasbacks on Big Fresh Pond, Southampton. Merrit's Pond is best viewed from Peninsula Path, a private, dead ended, narrow road which runs for ~ 100 yards w/o Ostrander Ave, between Kings Dr. Robinson Pkwy. The pond is completely surrounded by private property, but can be partially viewed from openings on 6 other streets. For these reasons, I strongly recommend trying the following locations before parking on O/A and walking into P/P. 1) Robinson Pkwy. 2) East Ave Ext. 3) Franklin St. 4) Pondview Rd. 5) Southern Pkwy. 6) Northern Pkwy.
