New Banded Goose in Prospect Park

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Last week, and then again today, I found a new banded Canada Goose hanging around Prospect Park. This one is H9Z4.

Not sure where this bird hails flew in from yet. I’ve not previously seen a white on orange neck band. The neck bands I’ve found on geese around New York before have all been black on yellow, and I think all came from Quebec. I’ve reported it and should know where this one is from in a few weeks.

Hopefully it can avoid being gassed by the Federal Government like the last flock that made its home here.
