Duke Island Park‘s Greater White-fronted Goose (GWFG) is being observed on the Raritan River where up to 3,000 Canada Geese are resting in the water or on the ice. John J. Collings posted a sighting to the JerseyBirds Listserv today. That post can be seen here.
The GWFG was also seen January 14 by George and Gail Eschenbach as it flew into the river.
A Cackling Goose or two is available for those wishing to comb through the many Canada Geese.
The most recent report of the Somerset County Barnacle Goose is from Sunday, January 11. It was seen and photographed on that date at 4:30 PM at the Somerset 4H property which is across the road from North Branch Park (Jason Denesevich).
