Dear Fellow Birders, To add onto the flurry of geese sightings this fall, I just had 53 Snow Geese and 1 Ross's Goose at Long Point. Of the Snow Geese about 40% were blue phase, and the flock was a mix of adults and young. This is probably one of the largest flocks of Snow Geese recorded for the Long Point area. Directions: Exit the 401 at Hwy 59 and follow this south all the way down to Lake Erie. Just before heading down over the Big Creek marshes, turn right (west) on Lakeshore Rd.and head about 4km west. The geese were in a corn field at the east end of the houses that are across from Lee Brown's Pond.
