Terrie Smith and I saw two adult small white geese flying out of Frenchman's Bay going east (and then presumably north) with the Canadas at 8 a.m. today. I'm thinking these are the Ross's Geese Dan Kazinski saw there yesterday, but we didn't see the beak well enough to be sure. Their small size relative to the Canadas certainly put them in the right size range. Looks like they head our early to feed so if you try I suggest you come early (before 8) or later in the day. One first winter Iceland Gull stood out amongst the hundreds of gulls there.
Exit 401 at White's Road, then south to Bayly then east to Liverpool then south to Commerce then west to Front then south for 25 meters to a parking lot on your right overlooking the bay. Lots of ducks and geese here. >From the east, exit 401 at Brock Rd and then south to Bayly then west to >Liverpool and follow directions as above.
