Seen this morning at Prospect Lake Duck Island before flying out Eastward, the GWFG wound up in the cemetery where my family is buried. ( From 1880's on..). Now that's pretty cool!

- Comments: "At the suggestion of Prospect Park birders who said the GWFG flew in this direction, I stopped by on my way north. It spent the whole time I was there grazing with about a dozen CANG near the center of the cemetery."

- Comments: "Apparently the same individual seen recently and earlier this morning at Prospect Lake. It was seen flying off from Prospect Park towards east by Forrest around 9:25 am and was relocated here by Tripper around 11:25 am. I ended up walking all the way from Prospect Park where I was hoping to see this goose originally. I arrived the cemetery around 12:50 am. This was my first visit here and had no idea where to find the goose and I didn’t see any birder, so I checked right and left while walking on the path from the main entrance. When I came into the mid section I finally saw several Canada Geese. I scanned the area and quickly I found what I was looking for among some more Canada Geese. It was peacefully feeding on grass. Brownish gray goose with white front around light pinkish orange bill, orange legs. While I was looking at it and taking photos, I saw Paul S in distance walking this way. We observed the goose together for a bit more."
