At about 11:30AM Sue and I found a Pink-footed Goose at the Sunken
Meadow State Park (SMSP) athletic fields. After making the requisite
phone calls Shai Mitra and Pat Lindsay arrived and in addition to the
Pink-footed Goose, found a Barnacle Goose in the flock of approx. 125
Canada Geese.
Shai just called to say that a Barnacle Goose is also present with the
Pink-footed - to the right or east after you cross the bridge that enters the
parking fields near the beach

Exciting news!
For what it's worth, the 3 Pink-feet in Cumberland, Maine were still
present this morning, so this clearly a different (fourth) bird.
Good photos of the bill might help us to determine if this is a
returning bird or not. Also, I encourage folks to post updates on the
bird,
Ken Feustel just called with news of a Pink-footed Goose at Sunken Meadow SP,
on the north shore of western Suffolk County, Long Island. The bird is with
Canada Geese on a ballfield to the east of the main entrance.
