Nature Done Wright

Andrew Boucher reports:

I am a recently addicted birder from Mahwah.

About one hour ago at Celery Farms I spotted this odd looking goose, and from what I can tell it is a White Chinese Goose.

I noticed that one of these birds is not on the Celery Farms list of Birds and I was wondering if you have ever seen this bird/species there before.

Jim sez: I ran to the point and got a quick glimpse of the bird before it swam around the peninsula on the left from the Warden's Watch.

Definitely a domestic goose — I think you're right, Andrew — likely a Chinese goose.

Has anyone seen one of these birds at the CF before?  It would not be on the list, I don't think, because it is likely a released bird/escapee. Thanks, Andrew!  

Would love others' input.

Stay tuned.
