Branta canadensis
I agree with Stian. This is a Canada goose, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Goos....
Those would be Greater Canada Geese. Common year-round resident throughout the USA. And throughout New York. although different subspecies sometimes occur in different time of the year. Like the "Lesser Canada goose" That occurs sometimes in the winter in the east.
