Thanks to Stan Long for his posts on the Markham Ross's Goose. Richard Pope and I got to the Reesor pond about 1pm and found no white geese there, but saw two Snow Geese flying off to the north with a large group of Canadas. We toured the nearby fields and were almost back to the pond when we found the geese feeding in the cornfield at the NE corner of Reesor Road and Hwy. 7, close to the road and giving great views. The adult Ross's Goose was among many Canadas with 3 adult white Snow Geese and one all white domestic goose.
Directions: Reesor Pond lies just North of Hwy 407 and just south of Hwy.7 on Reesor Road in Markham. The Ross's Goose was in the field on the east side of Reesor Road, just north of the traffic lights on Hwy.7, only about 200m north of the pond.
