    MessageAt 11:30 this morning on the boat float in Lake Elizabeth (in front 
    of the visitors' information center, near Paseo Padre) was a GLAUCOUS GULL, 
    I think first cycle but conceivably second.  Very clear distinguishing 
    traits, e.g. pale pinkish bill with clearly demarcated very dark tip.
    
    On December 28 three cackling geese were mixed in with a bunch of local 
    Canada geese at the north end of Central Park.  From photos I am comfortable 
    with two ALEUTIAN; the third looks reasonable for RIDGWAY'S but I am not 
    certain.
