Hello Ontbirders, To follow up on Dave Szmyr's report from 2 days ago, I was able to check in on the Ross's Goose & Snow Geese at the pond on Summerlyn Trail in Bradford. The bird was there this morning at 8:30am in the middle of the pond on a small spit. Although the trail & lookout (on Downy Emerald Drive) are some distance from where the birds were on the pond, they were still a bit skittish because as I walked up to set-up my scope many of the birds rose up and started swimming to the far side of the pond. I did get some digiscoped shots of both the lone adult Ross's Goose as well as the pair of white morph Snow Geese.
Directions, as per Dave: Exit the 400 at Cty Rd 88 and head east until you reach Summerlyn Trail (~2km from Hwy 400), turn left here. The Pond is on the east side of this road and is bordered to the North by Downy Emerald Dr. - easiest to park on Downy Emerald and view the birds from the lookout here. Good birding, Frank Pinilla RIchmond Hill, ON Cell: (416) 559-7075 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
