[mou] Odd goose, american pipits, and others at Minnesota Point/Duluth....

[SCmzd at aol.com]

9/8/08:   Stopped by the soccer field by the airport at Minnesota  Point this 
AM.  Saw two american pipits on the field.  Saw a group of  five american 
golden plovers come in quite low and circle the entire soccer  field three times 
without landing, so close to landing, but then...... no.   I also 
counted/saw/heard/ at least five other individual american golden plovers  fly over the 
field over the course of one hour.  There is an odd looking  goose mingled in 
with the crowds of candian geese at the point.  I would  like some help with id 
and will send a picture to anyone willing.  I think  it could be an immature 
greater white fronted goose, but I have quite limited  experience with this 
species and would like to say for sure.  There was  also sporadic mixed flocks of 
warblers/sparrows moving along tree/brush line  that runs parallel to the 
bayside of the lake and the road by the soccer  field.
Thankyou in advance for any help/interest in identifying the goose, email  me 
and I will send the photo.
Shawn Zierman.,
