I just had a Greater White-fronted Goose at Whitby Harbour about 20 minutes ago. It flew out of the marina with a handful of Canada Geese heading NW, but they weren't flying all that high so it's possible they may have been headed to any nearby farmer's fields in that direction.
I had actually just finished scanning the harbour but hadn't picked out anything overly interesting when its distinct vocalization drew my attention to it and I I got great looks as it left the harbour. It's possible the bird is overnighting there. When I left, there were still several hundred Canada Geese and at least a couple of Cackling Geese in the marina and on the Victoria Park soccer fields at the southeast corner of Victoria and Watson Streets in Whitby.
