Birders have driven as much as 160 miles to get a look at an "ABA Level 5" bird today. First spotted by local birding enthusiast Lori Ault on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, it appears to be a pink-footed goose. This species breeds in eastern Greenland, Iceland and Svalbard, and often winters in Europe. This would be the farthest east a pink-footed goose has been spotted.
