Hi everyone, Apparently, there is a confusion about the name of the pond where the goose is at. The first report said it's Lake Success. But if you put Lake Success in Google map, you get a lake that is north of the Northern State Parkway (NSP). The goose is at the pond that is south of the NSP. In the middle of the triangle that is made by NST, Marcus Ave and New Hyde Park Rd. (exit 25 on NSP toward Marcus Ave.) I couldn't find the name of this pond anywhere. Any time you click on one of the four water bodies in Lake Success Village, you see the words "Lake Success" pop up.
The confusion continues with reporting this bird to eBird. You see all kind of names for this location. I hope someone who lives in the area could clarify to us the proper name. And I think eBird should assign a hot spot name for this location. I spent two hours today until the goose decided to wake up and swim around.
