This morning on my way to work there was a Ross's Goose with a small flock of Canada Geese in a field on the east side of Bay St. just north of Port Rowan. The bird was quite obliging and posed for pictures no more than about 60 feet off the road. This is our latest Spring record at Long Point by more than two months but given this morning's frigid temperature and north winds maybe it's our earliest fall record. :-)
Port Rowan is just east of Hwy 59 on the north shore of Lake Erie at Long Point. Bay St. is the main north/south road running through town (also named County Rd. 42 on some older maps).
