Pink-footed Goose in Northampton County ~ January 30, 2021

Mike Schall found a rare Pink-footed Goose in my county back on January 20th. It was several hundred yards away at Seiple's farm pond in East Allen Township in among about 20,000 Snow Geese! I got to see it through a scope before it flew off with most of the Snows, so there was no chance of getting a photo of it. The bird was sporadically seen a few times, but on the 30th, Mike refound the bird just east of Seiple's at another small pond. This time, I was lucky to get some nice, close photos of it.

At one point, the Pink-footed swam in front of a Cackling Goose, creating a pretty rare photo opportunity where both were in the same frame.
Thanks goes to Mike for finding the bird both times.
