With waterbodies frozen over much of the area, open water at the south end of Stump Pond at Blydenburgh County Park in Smithtown has been concentrating good numbers of waterfowl. Among approximately 400 Canada Geese this morning were 2 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE and 2 CACKLING GEESE, the latter of which have been on the pond in the morning regularly since last week. A gull roost has also been steadily building since this second freeze-up, but nothing unexpected today. -Peter --
