Tues Oct 6/09

Noon: There's was a WH-FRONTED GOOSE with 130 Canada Geese in Harris' Pond
in Canning, Kings Co.  For those who are not familiar with the pond
location, it is behind the United Baptist Church on the cnr. of Main St and
Chapel Rd. I also heard a Yellowlegs calling. The WFGO spent much of its
time resting with its head under wing, but is notably smaller than the
CAGOs.
 
FYI: The path behind the church parking lot that used to be easily traversed
to enjoy a good clear look at this pond from the 'gated barricade', is
getting so overgrown with tangled shrubbery and rose brambles that one
almost needs a pair of clippers to clear a way!

Other ponds checked today-

 3   N. Shovelers
 8+  N. Pintail
