An all day vigil at Sunken Meadow State Park that began around 8:45 a.m. paid off late this afternoon.
Thanks to alert birders from Ithaca - Both the Pink-footed and Barnacle Geese were observed around 3:05 p.m. as they flew into the back of the creek amongst the phragmites. A group that included Chris Woods, Tom Johnson, Jessie Barry, Carolyn Sedgwick and I, were able to locate both birds in the creek at various intervals . Later we were joined by Claude Bloch, who was able to get on the Pink Footed. Good and responsible birding!
