As of 7:40 AM, the Pink-footed Goose was NOT present in the Holtsville soccer field.
I decided I'd try for it in my way into work. When I arrived, Rob Bate and Rich Fried were already on the scene working there way through a small flock of Canada Geese. Hopefully more recon and routine site checks will turn up the goose. There were several groups landing in the field last night. Last night, the Pink-footed Goose seemed to be on high alert of my presence and would shy away with the sub group in which it was foraging. I kept a good distance and recommend the same for any potential future viewing opportunities. Good luck if you go, Derek Rogers Sayville -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
