Somerset County’s first record Barnacle Goose continues today at Duke Island Park, witnessed by many observers. Greater White-fronted, Cackling, Snow and Canada Geese add to the current goose fest.
A hearty thanks to all of the eBird observers for using the Duke Island Park Hotspot as the location of their checklist. This makes an enormous difference in getting the data for a particular site. The link for the eBird Hotspot Explorer for Duke Island Park is here. Thank you, again! To learn more about using eBird Hotspots, mocosocoBirds has a Hotspot Primer here.

It was there this afternoon with 95 Ring-billed and 150 Herring Gulls. 1 Horned Grebe, 170 Common Mergansers, 24 Ruddy Ducks and 180 Canada Geese contributed to the inhabitants of the lake.
