Hello Ontbirders: I visited the site on Greenback Road south of Hunt Club Road where Connie Denyse reported a Greater White-fronted Goose two days ago. In the same large field with extensive water on the northern part of land of the Animal Disease Research Centre, I found the Pintail Duck reported on Wednesday, but among the thousand or so Canada Geese present, I was not able to locate the Greater White-fronted Goose. Geese were coming and going all the time. However, there was an obvious Cackling Goose on the water, not far from the road. As well, several Killdeer flew over the field calling.

If northbound, the 0.2 km offramp brings you to Cedarview Road, where you will turn right or SSE onto it and go 0.2 km SSE to West Hunt Club Road, where you will turn left or northeast. If southbound, a 0.4 km offramp dumps onto West Hunt Club Road, where you will turn left or northeast and in 0.4 km join the northbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow West Hunt Club Road northeast for an additional 2.0 km to reach Greenbank Road. Turn right or SSE onto Greenbank...and look for the flooded fields on the west side (about 2 km south of Hunt Club Road). _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
