An early morning hike around Sunken Meadow state park this morning did turn up
a Cackling Goose in a flock of 75 or so Canada Geese. This particular flock
was feeding on the baseball fields on the Eastern edge of the parkway just past
the entrance for Field five. I did check every single flock of Geese--but
found nothing else. Other highlights included
