Ontfowlers:The five Greater White-fronted Geese have left Cobourg harbour and returned to the vicinity of Port Hope harbour. They were present from 4:50 to at least 5:20 pm on Wednesday. The geese remained in a tight group and were seen at close range. They were swimming just offshore of the ice with about 350 Canada Geese. Directions: (as amended from Clive Goodwin’s posting): Take Hwy 401 to exit 464 (Ontario St.) at Port Hope. Turn south on Ontario Street and bear left on Mill Street where the road forks. Continue to the end of Mill Street. The birds can be observed from the parking area here. Hope it’s not a wild GWFG chase!
