For anyone venturing into Prospect Park tomorrow in search of the Barnacle Goose, the following late day report came in from John Ascher:
"The Barnacle Goose was by the Rustic Shelter with 18 [Canada Goose] at 5:50 but at 6:05 the flock flew towards [Brooklyn Botanic Garden] and then turned around and left park over Greenwood Ave headed in direction of [Green-Wood Cemetery]". If it isn't found near Prospect Lake in the morning, I would recommend checking out Green-Wood Cemetery, especially the small lake "Sylvan Water". Free maps are available at the main entrance.
