The white morph SNOW GOOSE is still sticking around the area staying with a
hundred plus Canada Geese. Today driving home from shopping I saw it in
Chinguacousy Park amongst the Geese pulling up weeds and grasses in a soccer
field there.
Chinguacousy Park is located at Queen and Bramalea rds, exit 410 at Queen and
head east, after crossing Dixie rd you will come to Central Park, turn left at
Central Park and first right into the park parking lot, two ponds are there and
the Geese were near the further pond on the road side.
Good birding to all Ian
