This morning I went down to Riverside Park to check for the Cackling Goose found yesterday late afternoon by Dale Dancis and Michael Bonifanti. I walked through the area from 6:45 - 7:15am and searched the water and grass fields between W 72nd Street running track and the ball fields around W 63-64 Streets. There were about 20 Canada Goose, most on the water and a few on the ballfields to the south, but alas no Cackling Goose.
good luck if you go, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan Here what Michael posted on ebirdsnyc yesterday evening: "Dale Dancis found, and we both observed a Cackling Goose feeding on the children's soccer lawn just north of the West 70th Street pier.It was with two Canada Geese at about 5:30 to 5:45 PM Thursday. The birds were previously in the water next to the pier when Dale first saw them." -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
