MEGA: Barnacle Goose in New Mexico
January 25th, 2008 by Rick Wright
Leading a WINGS tour in New Mexico, Gavin and Derek rediscovered the Barnacle Goose in Colfax Co., New Mexico, this morning.
Sightings of this lovely Old World species in North America are always clouded by rumors of captive origin, but ever since I saw one on my local patch in New Jersey, lo these many ago, I’ve looked with greater generosity on sightings of the bird, even far inland.
This tour has been hugely successful so far, starting off as it did with Rufous-backed Robin. Wonder what they’ll be turning up tomorrow!
