[Maine-birds] Northern Maine Birds: Pink-footed Goose Collins Pond

While on the way to work this AM, I made a quick stop at Collins Pond in Caribou to check on the goose flock and found a Pink-footed Goose with the 600+ Canadas.   I think its Maine's 12th or so and the earliest for fall by a few days. 

I've already had some inquiries about how to spot the rarer geese in fall up here.  Early goose season ended yesterday and its so dry, that I expect the bird may hang out and visit Collins Pond for while.  The geese typically leave at dawn (or shortly thereafter) to feed in the fields and return to drink and loaf around by 10:30 or so.  I probably wont be able to revisit until tomorrow AM but will pass on any news if I hear about it.

Attached a bad photo to my eBird report: http://ebird.org/ebird/me/view/checklist/S39398626 

Good Birding
