ADMIN: Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's and White-fronted Goose, Aquebogue

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Typically, a large grouping of geese on the ground or in the air is called a 
flock and a large, lengthy, flock in the air may also be called a skein.

But, let's not make a big deal of this, please.

Thank you!

 There is currently one of each goose foraging on agricultural
 fields north of Sound Ave. in Aquebogue behind Well's farm.
 Among a giant herd of approximately 3000 Canada Geese.
 I can't say I observed every individual and suggest this herd be
 detailed further for other geese with feet that are not black.
