Hi all,
Yesterday, at dusk, I followed from St-Isidore a loose flock of about 1000
Snow Geese and ended up at the Moose Creek sewage lagoons. Early this
morning, in heavy rain, I watched as these and others left the site. In
one photo I took, I counted exactly 2,879 birds (give or take a few). There
were at least 10 times that amount. The number of birds in the photo are
underestimated because the distant birds that form the dense flock do not
appear in the photo. That photo can be viewed here:

If you visit, please do not attempt to enter the lagoons. The Snow Geese
feel secure in this undisturbed site that is surrounded with a ten-foot high
chain-link fence topped with 3 strands of barbed wire.
Birds are best viewed when they leave for their feeding grounds at dawn.
DIRECTIONS to Moose Creek SL:
From HWY 417 east of Casselman take exit 58 and proceed south on HWY 138.
At the third intersection turn right on McLean Rd and drive towards Moose
Creek. Go about 2 km and turn right on Valley Rd. Go about 600 meters and
turn left on 8th Rd. The lagoons are on your left just past the railway
tracks.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,
Jacques Bouvier
