| Canada Goose with neck tag, UMASS campus pond, Amherst, MA, Mar 25, 2014 |
A quick post as I don't have a lot of time this morning but it appears that there are at least two (possibly three) Pink footed Geese present in the valley...amazing! I tried to catch up with one of them again yesterday morning but didn't have any luck. However this morning I did find one (possibly two) at Lake Warner in among several hundred Canada Geese. Although I didn't find any Pink footed Geese yesterday I did find a few decent birds including two Black Vultures in among Turkey Vultures at West Farms Road and Ryan Road in Northampton (about the same spot I had Black Vultures last year)...I tried to get a few photos with my iPhone but I don't think they came out well enough to ID them (photos still on a flash drive at work). I also found the neck tagged Canada Goose again...this time at the UMASS campus pond. The other notable species yesterday was a Wilson's Snipe at East Hadley Road...the vultures and snipe became species #110 and #111 for the year respectively in Hampshire County. I'm some how oddly ahead of last years record setting pace by five species at this point despite no real winter irruptives to speak of...crazy! Still tons of geese around so I wouldn't be surprised if other unusual stuff eventually turn up...hopefully if anything else shows up it stays for awhile.
