Pink-footed Goose Chase Successful

Dear Friends,

Our BBC trip from Riverside MBTA station for both the Pink-footed Goose and the Barnacle Goose was successful. Thanks to Leslie Kramer and Jim McCoy for lining up and sending the message for the Pink-footed across from Apple Valley Montessori School, not too far west of Nine Acre Corner on Rte. 117 in Sudbury. Along with others helping us, we lined up the bird for MANY other people. Everyone was very careful and even fire fighters came out to see the Pink-footed.  The bird was still there at 1:20 PM. We headed off for Acton and the Barnacle Goose. It was not on Wetherbee Road but we relocated it on School Street within a 100 yards of Rte. 2.  A lot of people, many from out of state, picked up at least one life bird today.

Good birding, everyone!
