I get to see Snow Geese so rarely — and almost never on the ground — that it was a treat to receive the above photo from David Hackbarth.
He took the photo in his yard along the Wanaque River in Pompton Lakes last week.
Last I checked, it had not been reported on eBird in Passaic County this year, and only once (at Parsons Pond on New Year's Day) in Bergen.
