I'll be posting more info in a couple of hours, but just writing now to say that the goose has moved to the southwest corner of UBNA, at the south end of the north-south channel that runs past the dime lot. It's roosting on the small island there. As long as the lights are on at the baseball field, it may be visible from the outside of the baseball field....or you could just wait until tomorrow, when hopefully the ID will be settled.

I did a quick check of my limited waterfowl reference material. The plumage doesn't make me feel good about it being a Lesser, but if wingtips extending beyond the tail are definitive, then it in fact may be a Lesser. I'll have photos on the web ASAP and will post the URL when they're ready.
