The small-ish goose - possible Cackling, if not a hybrid Canada-
Cackling, is again with 300+ Canada Geese, seen thru this mid-morning
near the northwest portion of the reservoir in Central Park
(Manhattan, N.Y. City) ... many of the geese were at rest, bills
FYI...please take note of the comment below from Phil Jeffery.

The other day on the NJ rare bird alert there's was posted 2 swainson's Hawks
and 4 Bachman's sparrows and a few other not likely to be credible species. I
don't know who posted but the Bachman's were ridiculous.

I noticed some odd reports over the last week too I suspect it might
have to do with the Great Backyard Bird Count - maybe a by-product of
what's otherwise a great way of encouraging people to get into birding.
Good smewing.

Great Backyard Bird Count. This sort of thing happens every year. Reports
will go through but extreme reports will be vetted by eBird reviewers. When
in doubt, check for "Confirmed".

Sorry for the late report, but this bird was a lifer for me and I needed to
confirm its ID as I was skeptical at first. I had 5 American Pipits (all
together) by the swail at Jones Beach. Thanks to Rob Taylor and I believe ?Bob
Adamo? for the tip as I was scoping a large flock of snow

Iceland Gull has come in again at the reservoir in Central Park
(Manhattan) where it was closer to the n. end pumping station area,
mid-afternoon; also the Red-breasted Merganser is still there, and
that modest-size goose, presumed a Cackler, if not a
Larry/New York Birders,
The wacky reports coincide (annually) with the Great Backyard Bird Count...

Nowadays we need to be careful what we mean when we say "Rare Bird Alert".
There really are two different versions and I think the discussion is
referring to the daily automated listings generated from eBird checklists
for species considered scarce to rare to an area by the filtering software.
