As of 9:07am the Snow Goose is still/again grazing on the lawn between the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and Cayuga Inlet next to the Children’s Garden and Taughannock Boulevard (NYS-89). I did not get close, but through binoculars it looked normal. Runners and walkers pass it without either being bothered.
I should add that my explanation of summer Snow Geese around being disabled veterans is an educated guess. If this bird has difficulty flying, it may also be limited where it can climb from the water to & from the lawn, and it may be reluctant to go up & down the embankment unnecessarily. - - Dave Nutter > On Mar 29, 2023, at 7:34 PM, Elaina M.
