To supplement Peter's collared Canada Goose report, on 12/5/12 I also found a bird from this very same batch of 68 banded canada geese up in west Greenland.
Like Peter's bird, my goose had a yellow neck collar with the 3-digit code printed in black (GA9). It was feeding in a farm field along the north side of 25A in Head of the Harbor(Suffolk), just west of Shep Jones Lane. This bird has been seen in Greenland every year since it was banded in '09 until recently on 10/11/12 when it was reported in East Windsor, CT (last reported in west Greenland on 7/24/12). There are many geese out there. Pretty amazing that Pete and I reported 2 of only 68 Geese that were collared in the same batch in Greenland 3 years ago.
