Pierre Ryan photographed a GRAYLAG GOOSE in flight at sea 180 miles
(nautical miles?) east of Cape Bonavista on 3 Dec 2010. The photo is
conclusive. This is when Europe was getting wintry weather and
Newfoundland was getting plenty of east and northeast winds and had an
arrival of Northern Lapwings. The circumstantial evidence for a bona
fide wild vagrant Graylag doesn't get any better than this.
If you see a goose that looks like an escaped barnyard goose SOUND THE
ALARM. It might be the/a Graylag. Take pictures also.
