"moderators" should read posts before deleting them
Someone deleted my post of the Smithsonian results analyzing the remains of the ingested birds. The results were recent and had not been posted before, and included a link reference to a scienceNOW article. DNA and isotopic analysis showed they were Canadian geese from Labrador. NY is their normal winter grounds, but the scientists hypothesized that a recent snow storm had caused them to move again. I don't have the original link now. I am surprised that relevant results with important safety implications are being casually deleted by "moderators". Pilots, airport opertors and the public need to know of the increased risk in the aftermath of snowstorms that may mobilize migratory birds again.
I searched the thread for both "labrador" and "geese" in the thread and this recently published result hadn't been reported before.
