Due to my ignorance on the status of Ross's Goose, I gave the miss-impression
that records for this species should be submitted to NYSARC. This is in fact
incorrect and no reports are required for this species regardless of number. I
was aware of the Greater White-fronted Goose status, but tho
A great deal of flooding, and perhaps the hunting yesterday has made the Snow
Goose flock very skittish today. I spent a great deal of time pursuing them
with no luck. When they finally landed, they were so distant that it was
impossible to ID anything. I just got a call from Scott Baldinger
I know have two gorgeous Fox Sparrows at my feeding stations. They are such

Saturday's Great South Bay Audubon waterfowl trip turned up two Cackling Geese

interesting information. One thing I think bears repeating is Kevin McGowan's
statement about any of our bird records. If we don't report th

County Park in Center Moriches yesterdays. He had a Hermit Thrush, 5 Eastern
Towhee's, 6 Cedar Waxwings and a flock of close to 100 American Robins. Come
on Spring! On the weekend my group of Rich Kaskan, Joe Lynch, Al Scherzer,
Hi John and all,
Instead of a can of worms I'd call this a useful conversation.
Shawn is correct that nine Ross's Geese were recorded at Montezuma on 24 Oct
2008, and I'd like to point out that this information was published very
prominently in the March 2009 issue of "The Kingbird," Volume 59,
