As Rob Bate reported yesterday, he and I were fortunate to find the Pink-footed
Goose in Middletown in a shopping center parking lot near the site where it was

the goose took off. For those interested the photos can

The header on Andrew Block's posting has me bamboozled for a second.
How did I not know about this bird? In my book, 'Yes'/'no' qualifiers
usually indicate the status of previously reported birds. Then I
realize that the PINK-FOOTED GOOSE is across the border in New Jersey,

Hi all,
I received an email this morning from Chris Feeney who was birding New
Jersey and Long Island this past week. He wanted me to post that he found
the PINK-FOOTED GOOSE at Sunken Meadow State Park on Friday, December 4.
Chris saw the bird about 2:30 pm in the field to the left of the main
Hi all,
My mom and I were able to relocate the PINK-FOOTED GOOSE this afternoon
between 2 and 3 this afternoon at the Kings Park High School, where it was
with roughly 200 Canada Geese.
We were unable to locate either the Cackling or Barnacle Goose in this
flock, and although we did not check Sun
Samantha Holschbach and I saw the PINK-FOOTED GOOSE at the Kings Park High
School baseball field at 10:30 AM. It was in a flock of about 120 Canadas.
For over an hour before that we searched Sunken Meadow State Park but did not
see a Cackling Goose among the 130 or so Canadas. Most of th
This evening from 3:20 to dusk Samantha Holschbach and I searched without
success for the Pink-footed Goose at Sunken Meadow State Park. We found a
flock of 65 Canadas on the edge of a closed parking lot; that was it for goose
activity. It seems we've missed this bird by one day. No Accipit
The Pink-footed Goose returned to Sunken Meadow State Park, along with
a hundred or so Canada Geese sometime between 3:00 and 4:00 PM today,
Sunday, November 22. It was in the west field near the beach. I'm not
sure where it was the rest of the day. It wasn't at the high school,

Hi All,
Tom Johnson, Carolyn Sedgwick, Jessie Barry and I spent the better

and traffic at Sunken Meadow State Park. Despite spending much of the

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
