This afternoon I found 2 Ross's Geese along Strongville Road on the north side of the Minesing Swamp, located west of Barrie in Simcoe County. They are currently in a field on the west side of Strongville Road, about 1km south of the intersection with Sunnidale Concession 9. A snowy owl was in the same area. There are extensive flooded fields near here with huge numbers of waterfowl - see my Ebird checklist for the other species. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17872415
Directions: Hwy 26 runs between Barrie and Collingwood. Turn south onto Strongville Road from Hwy 26. Keep going south until you pass Sunnidale Concession 9, and look for geese flocks. Large numbers of waterfowl are also present on Sunnidale Concession 2 east of County Road 10, which is along the southwest side of the Minesing Swamp.
