A friend of mine recently told me that an Atlantic Brant Goose had been spotted near the Gene Stratton-Porter Historic Site in Rome City. He said that this was a rare sighting in that there had not been one reported for about 100 years.
When I mentioned this to some other friends who were talking about bald eagle sightings, I was surprised at how many people were interested in bird watching.
I suppose it should not have surprised me since Neil Case has been writing a popular column for this newspaper for many years telling us many facts and stories about birds.

A mysterious brain illness is causing young black bears in California to become more dog-like and less afraid of humans.
The neurological disorder causes the wild animals to show overly friendly behaviour and to seem entirely comfortable around people.
According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) four cubs have displayed the symptoms over the last year.
Their behaviour, which includes a subtle tilt of their heads, has confounded vets and biologists.
