This is from my brother in Newport RI:

There are a pair of geese at the Norman Bird Sanctuary that don't really belong
in North America and they've caused a stir. Their breeding grounds are in
Greenland and Iceland, and they regularly show up in England in the winter, but
these two must have flown off course. Leslie Muir at the NBS said they had a
parking lot full of cars from the Audubon Society trying to get a look at them.
