The first time I visited Kershner's Pond several years ago, a woman from  
the house next to the pond (Mrs. K?) came out to chat. She was very friendly 
and  said that they enjoy having birders there and did not mind people 
standing on  the driveway or on the grass. However, I always park on the ample 
grassy  shoulder along Rt.17 just north of the driveway.
 
For what it's worth, I was there yesterday for about an hour and did not  
see the Ross's Goose. I made several scans from the driveway, from a high 
point  along Rt. 17 just north of the driveway, and from the dogleg a little 
farther  north. There were some geese on the pond but most of them were in 
several groups  on the lawns and in the fields beyond the house. It's possible 
the Ross's was in  one of the few places where it might be hidden from view. 
I hope so, and I  hope someone has a positive report this weekend, but I'm 
concerned that it may  no longer be there.
