At Belmont Lake State Park, three of the previously reported Greater White-fronted Geese were close to the wooded northwest border of the lake, at about 8:30. They and the Canada Geese were not moving much, and probably many Canadas, perhaps with other companions, were out of sight, further back in the wooded corner. I also saw 3 Common Mergansers.
At 4:30 this afternoon, along Doctor's Path, east of Riverhead, a search among grazing geese was rewarded only with a single Cackling Goose.
