Currently on the Parade Ground field opposite the Van Cortlandt Nature Center. The bird is in the company of about 2400 Canada Geese.
Also seen on the field were multiple flocks of American Pipits. Flyover White-winged Crossbills were also a nice addition. The field is soggy in some areas and the wind makes for a cold vigil. Dress appropriately if trying for this bird. Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!

When I got there, the parade ground fields were teeming with runners but no geese. A search of the Van Cortlandt Lake turned up loads of Canada's with some Lessers in the flock but no Barnacle. Note: Pelham Bay Park, specifically the Orchard Beach Area remains closed indefinitely. Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
