RE: [nysbirds-l] Greater White Fronted Goose

2017-01-09 Thread Shaibal Mitra 
It's been decades since people have debated the natural origins of Greater 
White-fronted Geese in New York State, and a huge body of records has 
accumulated, supporting the regular occurrence of Greenland-breeding 
flavirostris on Long Island, and of tundra-breeding North American birds 
upstate. Still, it's worth keeping an open mind.

To me, the Elda Lake bird looks like a typical flavirostris (decidedly orange 
bill, dark plumage, very narrow white tail band, etc.), but my photos seem to 
show that it is missing its left hallux:

https://flic.kr/p/R1SzcA

Clipping a hind toe is a common practice among keepers of captive waterfowl, 
but losses of digits also occur naturally. To me it seems unlikely that this is 
an escaped captive, but perhaps we need to evaluate the various relevant 
probabilities--how many people keep Greenland White-fronts here, etc.

RE:[nysbirds-l] Greater White-fronted Goose flyover flock

2016-02-20 Thread Scott Kruitbosch 
That would certainly be interesting to say the least! Thanks for sharing 
the post, Anders. I checked out eBird quickly yesterday and saw that 
multiple areas in OH and PA to the SW, S, and SE had counts into the 
dozens, but I hadn't examined it in detail in terms of NY and figured 
surely someone in the strong WNY birding community would have 
infrequently picked up a flock.

Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties are severely under-birded, and many 
more unique or rare sightings undoubtedly go unseen. I've entered it 
into eBird.

Alex Pirko and I hiked a few miles from Van Cortlandt Park Bronx, into

We found the bird at Tibbets Park(near the lake), where it provided excellent

Sorry for the false alarm, but the reported Greater White-fronted Goose from 
yesterday isn't actually what I said it was...oops!  I was rushing to attend an 
appointment at the Huntington Medical Group(just down the road) and noticed 
a goose with a bright orange bill and legs.  I pulled over and quickly snapped 
crappy shots from my camera phone through my scope, however, I didn't get a 
chance to thoroughly study the bird(like I normally would have liked to).  In 
fact, the bird is a Graylag x Canada Goose hybrid- not special at all.  The 
bird's identity was ascertained by photos sent to me.  My apologies for this 
premature sightingand for the several of you that went to observe the bird.

Good birding,

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Greater White-fronted Goose- field on Pulaski Rd

A Greater White-fronted Goose is feeding in an open field with at least 100 
Canada Geese on Pulaski Road.  I saw it while driving past the field and pulled 
over to take out my scope.  I managed to snap a few shots with my camera phone 
thru the scope.  The field is located just east of the intersection of Pulaski 
Road and Park Avenue in Greenlawn.  The open field is filled with Canada Geese 
so its pretty obvious.  Photos will be uploaded later and cand be accessed by 
the link below.  This was just five minutes ago from the time I sent this 
message.
