I heard over the weekend that my Ross's Goose sighting last fall has been
accepted by the WSO as a new Wisconsin state early fall record for the species.
I found the bird on September 8, a full week earlier than the previous record.
It was in the Veterans Park lagoon, only three blocks from where I live. In
addition to being a new state record, it was also a new life bird for me.
A special thanks to Jym Mooney, Brian Hansen, Rita Wiskowski and Chris
Petherick for verifying the sighting, and to Brian and Rita for providing
documentary photos.
I've never had a state record before (anywhere). Needless to say, I'm pretty
excited!!
