While on my way to Long Point this AM to look for the previously reported Ross's Geese, by Mike Burrell, I found a juvenile Ross's Goose aprox. 2 kilometres south of Langton. It was in corn stubble field on the west side of Hyw. 59 with a group of Canada Geese. There is a good chance that it was one of the birds that Mike reported yesterday. With all the farm activity, the birds were on the move. We did not locate any Ross's Geese at Long Point but the Sandhill Crane numbers were impressive. We counted aprox. 800 birds but felt that this was very conservative.
Directions: Hyway 59 south of Langton. Look for the sign the reads SOS Variety. Check the fields.
