2/22 Orange.  While doing my errands, I stopped briefly at Old Tavern Rd
park, Crosby Pond and Indian Lake.  No sign of the Greater white fronted
goose in the usual locations since Monday, although there are several farm
fields around town where it could be.
As I arrived at Crosby Pond , 95 Canada Geese flew in, the female Northern
Shoveler is still there and 10 mallards.
At Indian Lake, lots of  Ring billed gulls kept flying in and landing on
the lake, along with 2 Greater black backed gulls, the 2 Mute swans, and a
Turkey vulture soaring overhead.
Full report on Ebird.
