As of 2:09 PM today, the Taiga Bean-Goose has not been relocated. If it
has moved on (and only time will tell) then maybe this is a good time to
thank Karen Randall for finding this amazing goose (incredibly at the exact
same location that New York’s first Tundra Bean-Goose was identified in
2021), as well as John Hershey and John McKay for their subsequent
relocations of this incredible vagrant and their photographs, which helped
to clinch the ID.
At present, the Taiga Bean-Goose has been recorded on 642 eBird
checklists. That includes repeat viewings and multiple checklists to get
the bird in both counties, but still, a lot of people have been able to see
this goose, with some traveling very long distances to do so.
