I photographed the Barnacle Goose at Orchard Beach early this morning at 7AM, 11/27/10 and was able to get quite close, using my car as a blind. Enlargement of the metal band from my photographs reveals, " British Museum London SV 17. The number on the second line on the metal ring is 1291347. Enlarged photos of the metal band may be seen at www.cityislandbirds.com Jack Rothman City Island, NY
