Observation details
The 3rd North American record (and 2nd for St. Paul Island) of Lesser White-fronted Goose was found and photographed by local superstar, Barbara Lestenkof at Antone Slough. This is the first North American record of two individuals together, likely a pair, and also the earliest of the three existing records. The population of this species has severely declined in recent years and this was quite an unexpected vagrant. The other two records for North America are as follows: 5 June 1994, Attu Island 21-26 June 2013, St. Paul Island
