Early this AM there was an adult Greater White-fronted Goose at Collins Pond in Caribou. The geese were departing to feed in the fields as I arrived and the bird was kind enough to stay just long enough for me to get some quick photos. The goose had a bright orange bill and legs and the bold belly marks of the now-expected Greenland subspecies. https://flic.kr/p/AFMSFQ
-- Also, for the third morning in a row here, I have heard flocks of Evening Grosbeaks flying over. It seems they have shown up in numbers.
During my lunch, I checked the Mars Hill Pond for the Pink-footed Goose but had no luck. There were less Canada Geese on the pond than usual. The missing birds may have been out feeding in a local field or the birds may have departed southward.
Lake Jo in Easton had about 2,200 Canadas still, but no rare geese in the flocks. A male Long-tailed Duck, a Horned Grebe and a high count of 13 Buffleheads were the other waterfowl of note here. Almost like being at a bay on the coast!
