Today, between 1000 & 1130, I found ~ 2,150 Canada geese at Merritt's Pond in Riverhead. During that time there were singles of the following geese: Cackling; Pink-footed; G.White-fronted and Snow (Blue morph). Also seen, were single, drake Pintail & Hooded Merganser, as well as m M ! I kept waiting for a major "lift-off", but during the last 45 minutes, only 11 Canadas took off, while being replaced by ~ 50 of the same species.
