Banded Canada Geese in Five Islands Park, New Rochelle - 17th Jan

A flock of 100 or so wintering Canada Goose have been hanging around the Five Islands Park in New Rochelle. On 15th Jan I noticed that a few of them were sporting neck bands. They were ringed as a part of a study of Arctic geese, and were ringed in Canada. The website with the forms to report the sightings is https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBL/bblretrv/. I'll post details of when and where the birds were ringed as and when the information becomes available.
