The fields between East Hampton and Bridgehampton (off Montauk Hwy and the back roads parallel to the highway) contained thousands of geese today.

I've yet to see a post containing any specifics about accessing this field, so I'll ask: Can it be walked, or does one have to stay near the road and scope the shrubbery in the middle and the peripheral trees? Not that I have time to chase this bird any time soon. John Gluth, Sent from my iPho
