A huge apologia for posting again in less than 8 hours, but-
Today, Friday, December 2nd, 2016 saw a 2nd Pink-footed Goose get discovered in NY state, seen by maybe 8-10 or more observers, and much photo-documented in a county besides the one (Nassau) where a bird of that species, which is an "ABA CODE-4 species - meaning genuinely rare in North America - & that there were also at least 4 OTHER goose species recorded where this new find of Pink-footed - was in Orange County NY, those others being Greater White-fronted, Cackling-'type', Snow, and [Greater] Canada - I figure it's worth a mention on this NY STATE Iist? The find, in Orange County, was at Camel Farm, in the "black dirt area" of the county, & I can't provide precise directions - it's somewhere on your internet, though! And, not reported here for today, but present this day was the Pink-footed Goose in Nassau County, at the site where one's been since found by Tim Healy's dad and reported often here in past recent weeks - as far as I know, the Pink-footed in Orange County was today first found by Bruce Nott, who got word out to some others in the area. Thus, just passing along in case there is 1-person-out-there who may not have heard about this, on this list.
